In the energy sector, employees work in demanding conditions every day. Whether it involves maintaining installations, working in busy engine rooms, or field operations at wind farms and high-voltage pylons, your team needs protection that meets the most rigorous standards. With our safety glasses, prescription computer glasses, and custom-molded earplugs, you ensure that every employee can work safely and comfortably, whether they are out in the field or behind a screen.
From the installation site to the control room: the risk assessment requires a tailored solution for every role.
During equipment maintenance, opening pipes, and working with tools, particles and splashes are released with force at eye level.
Certified safety glasses protect your technicians' eyes, providing clear vision and a fit that remains comfortable all day long.
Turbines, generators, and compressors create continuous noise that often exceeds 80 dB(A). Throughout the entire workday.
Custom-made earplugs dampen harmful noise while keeping alarms and radios audible.
Maintenance on wind turbines releases dust, grit, and debris, often at height and in changing weather conditions.
Certified prescription safety glasses that fit securely to the face, ensuring you are protected while working at heights without compromising your vision.
Mechanics and technicians who work outdoors all day at wind farms or high-voltage pylons suffer from bright light and prolonged sun exposure.
Prescription sunglasses provide sharp vision with correction, plus protection against glare and sunlight during long periods of outdoor work.
Process operators, planners, and engineers work with systems and planning software for hours on end. Health and safety regulations require computer glasses if standard eyewear is insufficient for screen work.
Prescription computer glasses are precisely tailored to the viewing distance of screen work, ensuring your employees work comfortably and without strain.
Under Article 3 of the Working Conditions Act, employers are required to protect employees against risks to their eyes and hearing. This duty is particularly significant in the energy sector, where installations, turbines, and compressors present inherent risks.
According to Article 5.1 of the Working Conditions Decree, employers are required to reimburse the cost of computer glasses if an employee needs them for screen work.
Eye protection falls under EN ISO 16321-1, the successor to EN 166. Custom-molded earplugs fall under EN 352-2. Only certified products qualify as protective equipment.

This is determined by your risk assessment and evaluation (RI&E) for each role and workstation. For employees working with installations, turbines, or in environments with flying debris, eye protection according to EN ISO 16321-1 is the standard. Employees who wear prescription glasses are entitled to prescription safety glasses rather than over-glasses. We are happy to help you translate your RI&E into a concrete policy for each job role.
Yes. Hearing protection must be available above 80 dB(A), and its use is mandatory above 85 dB(A). Turbines, generators, and compressors consistently exceed these levels. In these cases, hearing protection is a mandatory piece of personal protective equipment that the employer must provide free of charge. Custom-molded earplugs offer the highest level of compliance because they fit perfectly and remain comfortable even during prolonged use.
Yes. Custom-molded earplugs provide selective attenuation: the filters are tuned to the noise levels of your specific equipment, reducing harmful noise while keeping speech and warning signals audible. This makes them safer than universal earplugs, which often provide either too much or too little attenuation. This difference is crucial, especially in environments where alarms can be life-saving.
