KNEEPADS If you ever have to kneel: these pads reliably protect bones, ligaments and tendons. They could also be used for marriage proposals in the warehouse. After all, almost a third of all married couples meet in the workplace. MEN & WOMEN Of course, the collection was de- signed for women, too. On that topic: DB Schenker has long been committed to equal opportunity for all employees, regardless of gender, age, nationality, religion or sexual orientation. For example, an internal women’s network is being set up. WASH & CARE The clothing is designed to protect the wearer. But just wearing the clothing is not enough. To ensure lasting func- tionality, the washing instructions for each garment should be followed exactly. Here are three general tips: (1) Do not use bleaching agents, because they can impair the luminosity. (2) Do not use fabric softener. Avoiding fabric softener will protect sensitive membranes. (3) And if possible, do not iron: clothing must not shrink – it must fit well to do its job. EXOSKELETON Give your spine a smile: exoskeletons are robots that are worn on the body and that support the worker during repetitive lifting and turning. The ergo- nomic aid protects against injuries, boosts morale and increases efficiency. BASEBALL CAP When the helmet comes off, it’s time for the baseball cap. The best choice for concealing bad haircuts and taking a sporty approach. Of course, safety comes before casualness: vision shouldn’t be obstructed. Available in navy blue. THUMB BRACE The little brother of the big exoskeleton. The design of the brace relieves all workers who put strain on their thumbs. And not only are the joints protected – the tip is protected, too. VEST Visibility can save lives. That’s why DB Schenker employees wear high- visibility vests, in neon yellow or bright orange, made of 100% polyester. A practical feature: fabric loops on the chest area for pens or narrow tools. EXEMPLARY Waldemar Weber works at DB Schenker’s Nuremberg hub and models a classic look for us. With one exception: normally, warehouse employees wear T-shirts instead of dress shirts. And the safety shoes are a must – no one enters the warehouse without them. SCANNER GLOVE DB Schenker has now introduced the intelligent and practical ProGlove: it has a device for scanning barcodes attached to it. The look of logistics The typical outfit on the DB Schenker catwalk is one thing above all: eye-catching. Those who are highly visible are also well protected. Yellow is especially visible and belongs to the professional look like the fork to the forklift. Here, we present the classics 65–75 RADIO UNIT Still popular, but it’s getting competition from the tablet, which is proving to be even better when it comes to transmitting important data. The “digital yard management” system is soon to be applied throughout Germany. RAIN JACKET LEVEL 1 A shining example of em-ployee-friendly multifunctionality: this rain jacket is windproof and waterproof, breathable and reflective. By the way: wash only at 40 degrees Celsius! 18 19
