Brass Knuckle Knee Pads Can Prevent Musculoskeletal Disorders
Knee pads are not just about comfort – they are about protecting against musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and extending careers. Jobs that rely on kneeling to perform tasks – such as construction, roofing, masonry, and others – can put workers at significant risk for MSDs. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, MSDs are the most common injuries reported in these occupations. Personal protective equipment in the form of knee pads can help reduce the risk of injury and minimize joint fatigue. Brass Knuckle, an innovative leader in PPE, offers two levels of knee protection with BKKN100 Light-Duty and BKKN200 Heavy-Duty.
Brass Knuckle BKKN100 Light-Duty is an ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), cushioned, and adjustable knee pad. One-size-fits-all for convenience, a single strap with hook-and-loop closure easily customizes fit to keep the pad in place for hours of lightweight comfort and protection.
Brass Knuckle BKKN200 Heavy-Duty provides all-day protection with a hard, contoured polyethylene cap. The knee pad conforms to the shape of the kneecap to enhance patella stability and reduce risks of impact and injury. It’s high-level protection for tough jobs. The rounded, abrasion-resistant cap allows for safer pivoting and heavy-duty work on the knees while foam padding throughout maximizes wearer comfort. It also is one size with an adjustable strap to keep the pad where it should be.
Both knee pads offer choice by providing protection, flexibility, and comfort suited to light-duty or heavy-duty applications. Designed for working while kneeling on the ground or on hard surfaces and for impact protection in every industry, the Brass Knuckle line helps ensure protection for cement work, flooring installation, roof work, and more.
