Research carried out by Snickers Workwear in the toughest of working environments has concluded that the best ways to improve your level of protection is to wear layers. The main benefit of wearing layers is that the air gap formed between different garments provides increased protection. t | 01484 854788 e | info@snickersworkwear.co.uk w | www.snickersworkwear.co.uk Increasing protection through layers 40 | Plant & Works Engineering www.pwemag.co.uk Annual Buyers’ Guide 2020 Health & Safety Cold weather should be taken seriously, so in preparation for whatever hazards and safety concerns may lie ahead, JSP says it provides the solutions to all winter problems, to keep workers’ minds on the job, not the weather.

Hotter had conducted a survey which revealed that staff carrying out repetitive actions, such as standing in a static position, were twice as likely to experience work-related absence, such as a fatigue, foot and muscular pain, compared to those roles where walking and movement were present. Anti-fatigue mats, coupled with microbreaks, role changes and better employee ‘rest’ initiatives, are proving part of the solution for Hotter. COBA says Orthomat’s foam composition provides underfoot cushioning which encourages feet to adapt to the mat’s surface; aiding blood circulation and helping to delay the onset of fatigue from standing. t | 0116 240 1088/ e | sales@cobaeurope.com w | www.cobaeurope.com Winter jackets and gilets Anti-fatigue matting Lifting equipment manufacturer and service provider, KONECRANES UK, has announced it has been awarded the RoSPA Gold Award for health and safety.
