PPE to protect you in all situations
Some working conditions involve certain safety risks that you must protect yourself against. The consequences of not taking work-related safety risks into account can be very serious. Strict safety standards often apply in these work situations, but this will not be the case for everyone. However, it is important that you think about the possible risks you run and take action accordingly. In these cases it is advisable to protect yourself as best as possible while working with personal protective equipment (PPE);
Unishore Bedrijfskleding has a wide range of PPE from, among others, OXXA. Our range of PPE is of good quality and for a very reasonable price. View the PPE categories here:

Unishore Industrial Clothing also offers an extensive range of face masks, full face masks, half face masks, dust filters, and dust masks FFP1, FFP2 and FFP3.
- hearing protection: Ear protection is very important in noisy work environments. Unfortunately, the importance of good hearing protection is still often underestimated.

- work glovesanddisposable gloves: Work gloves and impact gloves prevent injuries to your hands. The level of protection you need depends on the hazards you are exposed to. The most common hazards for your hands are bumps, cuts and chemical liquids. M-safe and Unishore Workwear offer you work gloves and disposable gloves to protect you; including cut-resistant gloves, latex gloves, nitrile gloves, thermal gloves, vinyl gloves and neoprene gloves.
- head protection: Head protection includes, for example, the various construction helmets, safety helmets and bump caps. These PPE from M-safe and other brands protect you against various dangers. Head protection is frequently used in construction, offshore and metal and technology. We even offer a flame-retardant monnigshood.
- eye protection: Your eyes are vulnerable and must be well protected in hazardous working conditions. Just like hearing damage, the risk of eye damage is still often underestimated. That's why it's important to limit the risk of eye damage by using safety glasses and face shields. M-safe has a wide range of safety glasses to optimally protect your eyes against the various hazards in your working environment.
- Fall protection: For some work at height or depth it is advisable to use fall protection products such as safety harnesses and lines, hooks and headlamps.
About Oxxa Safety Gloves
OXXA work gloves are used and appreciated worldwide. You might not immediately think so, but OXXA is a Dutch company. The fact that the company has such a big name in the field of work gloves says enough about the quality. OXXA has only been active since 2010 and only hand protection of the highest possible quality can conquer the market in such a short period of time. The brand focuses specifically on the production ofwork gloves, so the company can guarantee that virtually all possible applications are covered. Attention is paid to grip, comfort and dexterity, but certainly also to a modern appearance.
The name of this brand is a reference to a miraculous rescue operation in a collapsed coal mine in Lancashire, England at the beginning of the last century. Owen Smith (the O) managed to get his colleague Andrew Wright (the A) out from under the rubble by breaking and punching through it. Of course, this cannot be done with bare hands, but Owen had a good solution for that. He wrapped his hands in the torn sleeves of his work clothes, cut his leather belt into two pieces for the outer layer of protection, and then he got to work. He essentially improvised some kind of makeshift work gloves to save Andrew's life. This was inspiring enough for the founders of OXXA to include a tribute to both gentlemen in their name. The XX is a reference to mine crew 20, of which Owen and Andrew were part.
What protection do Oxxa work gloves provide?
All OXXA work gloves in our range comply with the standardEN 388tested for abrasion resistance, cut resistance, puncture resistance and tear resistance. You can read the results of these tests on the specific product pages. If necessary, the results of the inspections in accordance with the standard are also listed thereEN 511. This standard specifically relates to protection against the cold and will therefore mainly be seen in:thermal work glovesand work gloves for winter. The inspection for EN 511 checks for water resistance, contact cold and conductive cold. These results can of course also be found on the product pages of the various work gloves. This makes it very easy for you to choose the work gloves that best suit your needs and the conditions at your workplace.
The ultimate combination of protection and comfort is something OXXA still strives for every day. This is of course also due to the materials they use. To guarantee wearing comfort, the carrier is usually made of comfortable materials such as cotton or polyester. A coating has been used for protection. The coatings that OXXA uses are polyurethane (PU), nitrile (NBR), nitrile foam technology (NFT) and latex. The advantage is that many of these coatings improve your grip without affecting the fit of the work gloves. Moreover, due to the use of these materials, OXXA work gloves generally last much longer than, for example, leather work gloves. OXXA work gloves are therefore not only very comfortable and functional; they are also an extremely sustainable choice.
