Summary:

• Hand protection
• Head protection
• Foot protection
• Workwear

An adequate pair of gloves according to working conditions is essential to ensure hand safety. To avoid cutting risks, cut-resistant gloves offer a wide variety of adapted solutions. Those for precision work offering safety without sacrificing dexterity such as Eurocut N300 or Eurocut N606 gloves which follow the EN 388 standard. For general handling and heavy industry work with medium to high cutting risks, more resistant gloves should be recommended such as Eurocut Impact 100 and 200 gloves.

For dry, greasy or wet environments, Eurolite 13N400 or 13P105 gloves will allow you to maintain better grip on this type of surface. Against cold, the thermal protection of gloves complying with the EN 511 standard will avoid risks related to low temperatures. The Eurowinter D100 gloves also combine cut protection of level D.

The specific needs of certain trades also require appropriate gloves. For welding workers, the Euroweld 250 gloves provide them with protection against heat through the EN 407 standard. To avoid electrical risks, electricians will probably opt for gloves with electro-static properties from the EN 1149 standard to which the Euroweld 140 gloves comply.

A construction or industrial worker must protect their head, whether it's the eyes, skull or ears to better face the risks of their trade. Coverguard thus offers a wide range of accessories capable of ensuring the protections required by these different sectors.

The Madlux or Eurolux glasses offer protection against UV rays from the sun according to the EN 170 standard in addition to having anti-fog characteristics to avoid any constraints. For welders, the EN 169 standard of the Revlux 2 glasses will meet their specific needs.

For hearing protection, you can opt either for simple earplugs, or for MX340 helmets in the most noisy environments.

Against the risks of head impacts, the anti-bump safety cap will be suitable for trades that do not present significant risks of falls or falling objects. In the case of work at height, the Altai wind helmet will be a choice ally for perched workers.

Depending on the fields of activity and workplaces, safety shoes should be chosen wisely to adapt to the different work requirements encountered. Coverguard offers shoes that comply with the characteristics of the EN ISO 20345 standard for this purpose.

Among these, S1 and S1P safety shoes, slip-resistant, lightweight and comfortable like the Gypse will be able to satisfy the needs of painters, electricians or warehouse workers.

The Opal shoes or the Pyrope boots of S3 classes offer cleated soles, uppers resistant to humidity or cold and are suitable for protecting the feet of masons, roofers, ground crew, construction supervisors, dockers and other trades in construction or industry. The versatility of the Agate and Azurite shoes allows them to be effective both indoors and outdoors.

The range of Coverguard workwear meets the demands of a vast selection of activity sectors: from the craftsman to the road construction worker. These outfits best satisfy the needs in terms of protection and safety of workers in various situations or weather conditions.

The Barva collection, which includes among others a jacket and pants, offers multiple practical pockets suitable for serving all those who need tools within reach. The Smart pants complying with EN 14404 standard allows the addition of knee pads for the protection of joints during work.

For work on roadsides or at night, high visibility clothing complying with the EN 20471 standard is essential and is available for all weather conditions. The Kanata parkas complying with EN 342 for extreme cold, the EN 343 rain jackets Hotaru or the Komo t-shirts for summer periods will be perfectly adapted to seasonality.

The accessories and outfits presented above are only a sample of the articles manufactured by Coverguard. Whatever your professional needs, the brand originating from Lyon will very certainly have something to satisfy them to build your complete armor from head to toe, thus ensuring you work with complete peace of mind.
