Kneepads
Kneepads are hugely important for workers across a range of different trades. Having a strong and reliable pair of kneepads or inserts means you do not have to worry about injury from constantly bending and kneeling on hard surfaces as you carry out your duties. They are hard-wearing and comfortable to wear during long shifts on site, come with adjustable straps to ensure that they always fit perfectly, and are often produced using anti-slip materials that ensure you grip the ground when performing your tasks.
When dealing with heavy or potentially dangerous equipment during your working day, you need to be confident that you are in a stable position, and a good pair of kneepads bring that peace of mind. They will keep you solid as you get on with the job.
Another consideration of those whose trade dictates they need to spend a lot of the time crouched down low is the potential, or even the reality, of joint pain. Wearing a hard-wearing, but comfortable, pair of kneepads helps cushion the impact of this type of work on your limbs, providing another good reason to add this piece of kit to your workwear.
Knee pads generally strap over your knees and trousers, with knee inserts fitting into the specially designed pockets in workwear trousers. You can also pick up kneeling mats, which you take with you from location to location, placing on the floor wherever you need to work.
Manufacturers put a huge amount of thought into designing these items that have to deal with tradespeople moving up and down, onto and off their knees all day. They have developed robust materials that work with the knee and the cushioning to shape around the worker, providing the best possible protection for them whilst still being lightweight and flexible enough not to inhibit their movement as they carry out their duties.
