Knee and back injuries are common occurrences in the workplace. OSHA emphasizes the importance of eliminating hazardous conditions whenever possible. However, individual workers can also use ergonomic solutions to enhance their comfort and safety.

For companies aiming to support their employees and minimize discomfort, Liberty Safety offers the durability and reliability of DuraWear™ back support belts and knee pads. These products provide ergonomic support, promoting a more comfortable working environment that is essential for maintaining productivity.

Back Supports

Workers across various industries value the support provided by back braces, often using them daily. A back support belt, typically designed in a corset style, is primarily used during lifting activities. Its purpose is to reduce extreme forces on the spine while increasing abdominal pressure for added stability. Made from lightweight elastic materials, these belts are worn around the lower back and secured with suspenders.

Knee Pads

Knee injuries, such as torn ligaments or strained muscles, may necessitate additional support during recovery. Knee pads help protect the patella (kneecap) from further damage, especially in jobs requiring frequent kneeling. Wearing knee pads can alleviate stress and pressure on the knee, providing much-needed relief.

Available in various styles, knee pads may feature water-resistant, slip-resistant, and abrasion-resistant hard caps, ensuring versatility and protection for different work environments.
