Hygiene and safety in heavy industry: a daily imperative
Heavy industry involves extremely tough conditions: heat, dust, chemicals, and splashes expose workers to constant risks. Whether in production, maintenance or cleaning, all roles rely on effective, clean and ready-to-use PPE. Hygiene, drying and disinfection are not optional extras — they are pillars of both safety and performance.
JVD meets these demands with robust equipment, designed for collective use and harsh environments. Our solutions dry, disinfect and store PPE safely. They help reduce occupational risks, improve worker comfort and ensure that protective equipment is always available.
Which hygiene products for the chemical industry?
Drying and disinfection cabinet
Ensures PPE is dry, odor-free and disinfected – ready to use at every shift.
Heated lockers
Improves thermal comfort during cold weather or in workstations exposed to climate variations.
Glove dryer
Speeds up the drying of protective gloves, reduces residual moisture and helps prevent skin problems.
Boot dryer
Keeps safety shoes dry, hygienic and comfortable, even with heavy use.
The Novven cabinet: your ally for safety and comfort
The drying and disinfection cabinet offers several key advantages. It extends PPE lifespan by removing residual moisture and preventing damage caused by poor storage, which means lower replacement costs. It also ensures regular disinfection, eliminating bacteria and viruses, helping reduce the risk of contamination when equipment is shared.
The cabinet also deeply deodorises items like shoes, gloves and jackets, neutralising persistent smells and contributing to a more pleasant and professional work environment. It delivers optimal comfort by providing dry, warm and clean PPE from the beginning of the shift — a key factor for morale and motivation in demanding conditions.
Built to be robust, secure and durable, this cabinet becomes a vital part of industrial operations, serving both employee health and operational performance.
Personal protective equipment (PPE): a strategic link between safety and engagement
In heavy industry, PPE is essential to team safety and is exposed to extreme conditions such as heat, humidity, dust and metals. Maintaining PPE is a strategic lever for performance. Helmets, gloves, boots, flame-resistant or cut-resistant jackets are worn daily in harsh environments. Beyond their protective function, PPE is at the heart of multiple operational and human challenges.
Key issues in heavy industry
Preserving equipment – Standing moisture, poor storage or makeshift drying methods accelerate the wear of costly PPE. Proper maintenance extends lifespan and optimises equipment budgets.
Securing working conditions – Damp gloves, poorly dried boots or dirty jackets reduce protective performance and expose workers to avoidable risks.
Limiting cross-contamination – In environments with co-activity or circulating pathogens (such as flu or COVID-19), strict PPE management helps prevent the spread of contaminants between teams or production areas.
Supporting field engagement – In physically demanding settings, comfort is key. Wearing dry, clean PPE improves workplace wellbeing, reduces skin irritation and boosts motivation.
