Ergonomic Protection from Brass Knuckle Helps Fight Musculoskeletal Disorders

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that musculoskeletal disorders occur most frequently in construction, masonry, and many other occupations. Tasks that routinely require kneeling and bending can put an employee at significant risk. Personal protective equipment (PPE) such as knee pads and back support with ergonomic protection can help reduce the risk of injury and minimize joint fatigue.

Brass Knuckle ergonomic protection, including knee pads and back support, is designed to help alleviate musculoskeletal disorders resulting from risk factors at work, including heavy lifting, bending, reaching overhead, kneeling for prolonged periods of time, pushing and pulling heavy loads, and working in awkward body postures.

Ergonomic Knee Pads (BKKN100 and BKKN200). When work brings you to your knees—literally—Brass Knuckle® has you covered with knee pad solutions that have excellent protection and varying degrees of stability, flexibility, and comfort. BKKN100 is a light-duty knee pad with cushioning and adjustability, while BKKN200 offers heavy-duty protection with a hard, contoured cap.

Ergonomic Back Support (BKBS). Brass Knuckle BKBS back support offers reinforcement that can help workers avoid back injuries and fatigue in occupations that require stooping, lifting, carrying, or even holding static positions for long periods of time. These supports feature elastic suspenders to distribute body stress and tapered abdominal panels to better conform to the body.

When engineers cannot easily eliminate the hazard, Brass Knuckle provides modern, lightweight ergonomic protection products designed to help workers stay in compliance.
