Kneeling is unnatural working position but it can be very convenient in performing some tasks. Without knee
protectors, workers may suffer discomfort and immediate injuries from hard surfaces and small stones and
similar objects lying on the surfaces.
Kneeling position can also impair venous drainage. The body inactivity limits the venous blood pressure to the
knee and can cause compression of the popliteal veins and increased blood flow resistance. It is important that
knee protectors do not compromise venous drainage in the leg while kneeling or standing up.
Adjust the knee protectors position with help of locking straps to ensure adequate protection. A properly adjusted
product should not slide off (1), and the pads should reach about bent knee level (2). Avoid over-tensioning the straps.
Kneel vertically, do not sit on your heels. Do not kneel for a long period, rest for at least 10 minutes without knee pads
attached to the legs with locking straps. Seek for medical attention if knee or body swelling occurs while kneeling
position working.
