Slik kan du unngå arbeidsulykker i vinter
Vernesko som er produsert for å takle det nordiske klimaet, er svært viktig for å unngå arbeidsskader. Kalde føtter, for eksempel, påvirker sikkerheten når du klatrer i stiger eller jobber på glatte underlag. – Det lønner seg å bruke litt ekstra tid på å sjekke at du har funnet et produkt med de riktige sikkerhetsfunksjonene og kuldebeskyttelsesegenskapene, sier Mikael Baggens, forretningsutvikler hos Ejendals i Sverige.
Vinteren har sakte, men sikkert begynte å feste grepet. Samtidig er det mange yrkesgrupper som ikke bukker under for temperaturer under null. De er vant til å tåle både bitende kulde, våte overflater og sludd som har blitt til is. Det finnes ingen temperatur der det er forbudt å jobbe utendørs, men om man ikke bruker gode vernesko og -hansker, kan det gi alvorlige konsekvenser.
Kalde hender og føtter påvirker ikke bare evnen til å holde på kroppsvarmen, men utgjør også en sikkerhetsrisiko. Dette stiller ekstra høye krav til våre vernehansker og vernesko, sier Mikael Baggens, forretningsutvikler hos Ejendals.

"Safe, dry and comfortable"
More than half of all workplace injuries are injuries to hands, wrists, fingers, feet, ankles and toes. One of the most common causes of work accidents in the construction industry is falling. If you work outdoors, it is especially important to invest in good quality shoes for different types of cold environments.
- The safety shoes must keep the feet safe, dry and comfortable all day. They also need to be warm and well equipped for really cold weather, but also flexible and ergonomic in their design so they don't feel clumsy. Design and function go hand in hand in all our TEGERA and JALAS products. Design has an amazing ability to significantly improve the primary function of safety products, says Mikael Baggens.
