Importance of knee protection

‘Redbacks’ is an award-winning, nonfoam
based, safety kneepad which
maintains its maximum cushioning
effect throughout consecutive or
prolonged use. According to Cliff
Lockyer, CEO of CL-7 who
manufacture
Redbacks, the
kneepads “can help
prevent up to six months
down time and subsequent loss of
earnings through knee injury in the
workplace”.

He continued: “There are over
70,000 registered knee operations by
the NHS each year, 60% of which are
due to injuries resulting from soft
tissue ‘wear and tear’ or
osteoarthritis caused by inadequate
protection whilst kneeling.

“It is vital that in order to avoid
costly down-time, as well as the
unnecessary pain and
discomfort, employers and the
self employed should ensure
they provide their
workers and
themselves with
the best possible knee
protection.”
