In the most demanding work environments, being seen is not just an advantage, it's a necessity. Juba's high-visibility clothing line is designed to provide effective protection in low-light conditions, meeting the highest regulatory standards. However, it's not just about meeting the standard: it's about going above and beyond. Technology that marks a difference: now with segmented bands As part of this evolution, Juba incorporates the segmented band in its high visibility collection. This technology, substituting traditional reflective bands, is an innovation that improves comfort without compromising safety. Unlike traditional reflective bands, which are continuous and more rigid, the segmented band is composed of small sections that are strategically integrated into the garment, bringing great benefits to the wearer. Why choose segmented banded garments? Greater freedom of movement: thanks to their flexible design, these bands allow a more natural fit to the body, ideal for jobs that require constant mobility. Greater breathability: thanks to its segmented band, the garment breathes better and reduces heat and moisture, an important point in warm climates or physically demanding jobs. Certified high reflectivity: the interrupted segment design meets reflectivity standards. Long-lasting durability: materials are uniformly integrated into the fabric, increasing resistance to wear and abrasion and maintaining their properties even after multiple washings. Easy care. Friction resistance. Juba references with segmented bands The segmented band is already a reality within Juba's catalog preview. Among the references that include this innovation, the following stand out: The ‘Belfast’ technical polo shirt made with ‘eye bird’ sports fabric, which combines a cotton inner layer (55% in its composition) for greater comfort with polyester outer layer (45% of 150g/m²), which enhances the fixation of the fluorine color. This fabric is characterized for being: Breathable Pleasant to touch (due to the cotton) Somewhat resistant thanks to the polyester Ideal for warm weather or indoor activities Now Juba has this reference in two color combinations:  Yellow and blue (HVS740DYN)  Orange and blue (HVS740ORDN) On the other hand, the new reference with segmented band ‘London’ made of breathable sports fabric (100% polyester), which makes it: Very lightweight and quick drying Resistant to wear and frequent washing Less moisture absorption (hardly recommended in extreme heat) Ideal for warm weather or physically demanding work activities In the case of the short-sleeve shirt the availability of colors is:  Orange (HVS621OR) Yellow (HVS621Y) Orange and blue (HVS621ORDN)  Yellow and blue (HVS621YDN) While, in the polo shirt, the color options are as follows: Orange (HVS620OR) Yellow (HVS620Y) Orange and blue (HVS620ORDN)  Yellow and blue (HVS620YDN) Yellow and green (HVS620YMG) Yellow and grey (HVS620YGY) The ‘Fragata’ windbreaker jacket also has a segmented reflective band. The jacket is certified against cold and breathable, available in two possible color combinations: Yellow and black (HVS9910B) Yellow and blue (HVS9910DN) All these new references by Juba are EN ISO 20471-certified for hi-visibility clothing and all of them are Class 1, which includes clothing required when risks are minimal. Their design allows professionals to be detected from vehicles traveling at speeds of less than 40 km/h (25 mph). Some examples of professionals wearing Class 1 garments are: Parking staff. Staff removing shopping carts in shopping mall parking lots. Workers exposed to traffic in warehouses. Pavement maintenance workers. Safety and comfort, without compromising anything Juba's high-visibility clothing with segmented bands sets a new standard in work protection. Each garment is designed to adapt to the pace of daily work, offering a solution that combines visibility, comfort, strength and style. Because when it comes to protecting yourself, it's not enough to look good, you must feel good.

Safety is always the priority in any workwear equipment. However, this premise should not be at odds with style, comfort and visual coherence. Aware of this evolution, Juba has taken a step forward and presented their first Lookbook, a visual tool designed to inspire, guide and facilitate the choice of workwear with a modern, functional proposal. A visual guide for demanding professionals The Lookbook was created with a clear purpose: to show, in a clear and attractive way, real combinations of clothes from Juba's hi-visibility catalogue. Each outfit has been designed not only to comply with safety at work standards but also to convey a coherent professional image, carefully designed and representative of each sector. Through different proposals, the user can visualize how to combine jackets, trousers, technical shirts, polo shirts and accessories, in a range of colours and designs that adapt to different work environments: from logistics and construction to urban maintenance or services. Safety with style: a possible combination This approach not only improves the functionality of workwear, but also reinforces corporate image and the professional perception of teams. Visual coherence among clothes, colours and styles contributes to generate confidence, order and belonging in any organization. The new Juba Lookbook is much more than a product guide: it's a practical source of inspiration that combines textile innovation, work standards and visual design, providing real solutions for those looking to stand out at work without compromising safety. Discover it, get inspired and transform the way you dress in your professional environment.

High visibility clothing is a signalling clothing that follows an official standard to regulate its characteristics and requirements, as well as the working conditions in which each available class must be used. Importance of high visibility clothing High-visibility clothing is designed to provide safety and protection for professionals in work situations where there is a risk due to low light and/or where professionals cannot be detected from certain angles, when using machinery or when driving vehicles. In addition, high-visibility clothing is also recommended for some recreational or sporting activities in low-light areas (running, riding an electric scooter, cycling or walking, among others). High visibility clothing regulations and certifications High visibility clothing is regulated by specific standards and may also have different quality and safety certificates associated with it. This information can be consulted in the descriptive sheet of each reference available at Juba. Legal requirements in Spain The standard governing high-visibility clothing in Europe is EN ISO 20471. This regulation identifies standards in terms of design, materials and performance of hi-visibility clothing and makes a classification, to specify the most suitable according to certain characteristics. Quality and safety certificates In addition to EN ISO 20471 standards, hi-visibility workwear must also have some relevant and other complementary certifications, depending on the risks inherent to each type of work. Classification of high visibility clothing The EN ISO 20471 standard for high visibility clothing distinguishes between three classes, each with specifications related to the working environment and the characteristics of the components that provide increased visibility, such as retro-reflective and fluorescent materials. Each class must have minimum surfaces of visible materials. The garments must consist of the required areas of background material and retro-reflective material. In addition to EN ISO 13688, the pictogram must be indicated, and if the manufacturer indicates a maximum number of cleaning cycles, the number must be added to the marking. The surface area should be measured on the smallest size available for the garment and with the garment closed. EN ISO 20471:2013 X: The number next to the pictogram indicates the class of the garment according to table 1 (class 1 to 3).   Class 1: minimum level Class 1 high visibility clothing includes those garments required when risks are minimal. It is designed to enable professionals to be detected from vehicles travelling at speeds of less than 40 km/h. Examples of workers wearing Class 1 garments are: Car park attendants. Staff removing shopping trolleys from shopping centre car parks. Workers exposed to traffic in warehouses. Pavement maintenance workers. The regulations establish that the garments must include the following: 0.10 m2 of retro-reflective tape (reflective bands). 0.14 m2 of fluorescent background material. 0.20 m2 of combined material (fluorescent and reflective strips). Class 2: intermediate level Class 2 of high visibility clothing includes garments that offer intermediate visibility, so that professionals can be seen in adverse weather conditions and by vehicles or machinery travelling at a speed of no more than 80 km/h. Examples of workers wearing Class 2 garments are: Forestry operations. Ship loading operations. Railway workers. School crossing guards. Delivery vehicle drivers. High volume car park staff. Toll plaza staff. Airport baggage handlers and tarmac crew. Refuse collectors and recycling operations. Accident investigators. The characteristics of the high visibility material in these garments are as follows: 0.13 m2 of retroreflective tape (reflective bands). 0.50 m2 of fluorescent background material. Class 3: high level Class 3 high-visibility clothing has the highest concentration of these materials. It is used by emergency service professionals, as well as in places with road traffic travelling at over 80 km/h. Examples of workers wearing Class 3 garments: Road construction and signalling personnel. Road inspection and maintenance personnel. Emergency and police personnel. The material to be included is as follows: 0.20 m2 of retro-reflective tape (reflective strips). 0.80 m2 of fluorescent background material. Requirements for high visibility clothing Ergonomics and comfort for the professional: Ergonomic factors, fit, size, comfort and degree of movement of the wearer must be correct. Class with ensembles: The protection class of a garment may be determined by a single piece or by the combination of several, such as a jacket and trousers. The highest class must be specified in the information leaflet and on the laundry label of both garments. For a garment to be classified as Class 3 - the highest in visibility - it must cover the torso and have long sleeves or long trousers. Logos: The presence of logos, lettering or labels may not interfere with or reduce the minimum area of visible material required. Retro-reflective stripes must be 5 cm wide and at least 5 cm apart, also maintaining a 5 cm separation from the bottom edge of the garment. Avoid diagonal stripes: It is recommended to avoid diagonal stripes, opting instead for horizontal and vertical stripe designs that offer greater visibility. Colour coordinates and luminance factors should comply with regulatory requirements to ensure proper visibility under different light conditions. Retroreflective stripe: If the sleeve impedes vision it should be surrounded by a retroreflective stripe.

Handling chemicals is a daily task in many industrial sectors, where industrial cleaners, painters, farmers, chemists, maintenance workers and utility workers require adequate protection against corrosive or irritating substances. Acids, alkalis and solvents are part of the daily routine of these workers, so it is essential to use gloves that offer impermeability and resistance to these products. PVC gloves stand out for providing a complete waterproof barrier, making them particularly effective in wet or liquid environments. Their flexible material allows them to perform well even in temperatures as low as -20°C, as well as offering comfort over long periods of use, which is crucial in tasks requiring delicate handling.  In terms of durability, these gloves are highly resistant to abrasion, tearing and puncture, especially in the thicker models. This feature makes them an economical choice, as their service life is often longer compared to other materials. In addition, as they are free of latex proteins, they eliminate the risk of allergies, being an excellent alternative for people sensitive to this component. Their versatility allows them to be used in multiple sectors, such as the chemical industry, the food industry, hydrocarbon transport, refining, cleaning and the health sector. They also stand out for their resistance to low temperatures, maintaining their flexibility and protective properties in cold conditions, which makes them useful in cold rooms or adverse climates. Despite their many advantages, PVC gloves are not the best choice for tasks involving exposure to high temperatures or extremely sharp materials, as PVC may melt or puncture under these conditions. In addition, they offer less tactile sensitivity compared to latex or nitrile gloves and have lower cut resistance and elasticity than other materials. In any case, it is always essential to ensure that the glove is specifically designed for contact with the materials to be handled. New PVC gloves by Juba Juba has developed within its wide range of safety gloves new models made with PVC to offer greater protection in industrial environments: G3 gloves are designed to offer effective protection and a high level of comfort in various industrial applications. With a thickness of 0.55 mm, they provide an anatomical fit that improves ergonomics and user comfort. Their special formulation ensures exceptional comfort, allowing prolonged use without causing hand fatigue. The design incorporates an inner cotton flocking that absorbs perspiration, providing freshness and greater comfort during use. In addition, the soft and pleasant feel enhances the user experience. Thanks to their surface, they offer excellent grip in both wet and dry environments, making them ideal for multiple applications where precision and safety are required. Another advantage is their hypoallergenic composition, making them an ideal choice for people with allergies to latex or other materials. These gloves are available in sizes 7/S, 8/M, 9/L and 10/XL. As to packaging, Juba presents them in packs of 10 pairs and boxes of 120 pairs, making them easy to store and distribute in work environments. G53: Also 0.55 mm thick and with very similar characteristics, these gloves offer the same protection and comfort as the G3 model, but with an extra long 73 cm cuff for greater coverage and safety.  In addition, this reference is certified under EN 421:2010 standards, which also guarantees protection against ionizing radiation and radioactive contamination. Available in sizes 8/M, 9/L and 10/XL, presented in packs of 4 pairs and boxes of 100 pairs, for easy storage and distribution. G52: Lighter in weight, with a thickness of 0.25 mm, ideal for tasks requiring greater dexterity. The gloves are differentiated from the rest of the range by their lighter, more flexible design and a satin finish that provides an extra soft, comfortable feel. Unlike the G3 and G53 models, these gloves are especially designed for sectors like cleanrooms, pharmacies, laboratories and work related to oil derivatives, where light protection is required without sacrificing comfort and safety. Available in sizes 7/S, 8/M, 9/L and 10/XL. Available in packs of 4 pairs and boxes of 100 pairs, with the option of individual bags for improved hygiene.  

At Juba, women not only work, they also lead, decide and build.  In a sector traditionally dominated by men, female leadership is a reality in this company.

The company works every day to ensure that the entire team has the same opportunities for growth and development, regardless of their gender. The company directs its actions to the global commitment of the 2030 Agenda, driving actions that promote gender equality. In particular, it works in line with the following Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): SDG 5: Gender equality - Promoting the presence of women in leadership positions and fostering a work environment where all people have equal opportunities for development. SDG 8: Decent work and economic growth - focus on fair working conditions, equal access to growth opportunities and the elimination of all gender gaps. SDG 10: Reducing inequalities - Implementing internal policies that favour inclusion and diversity, ensuring that talent is the sole criterion for professional growth. The road to real equality still has challenges, but at Juba we believe that a more equitable world is possible and that every action, no matter how small, contributes to achieving it.

In all jobs, it is essential that professionals are equipped with the appropriate clothing and accessories for the work they have to carry out on a daily basis, both for optimum efficiency in their professional activity and also for their safety against potential risks. People working inside cold rooms must wear approved clothing for those environments where temperatures can reach temperatures below -18ºC. In addition, this type of environment also demands quality products that are comfortable, practical and resistant. Importance of wearing certified cold protection clothing Approved clothing for cold rooms is that which offers the guarantee of meeting the requirements, in terms of safety and ergonomics, to carry out work in this type of spaces. These garments are designed and manufactured with materials resistant to low temperatures, so that they protect professionals from risks such as hypothermia, chilling and similar problems. In addition, they must guarantee that the people responsible for this task have the appropriate ergonomics to carry out all the necessary movements in their daily activity and/or with the products they must introduce or extract from it. Safety standards and regulations Workwear protecting against the cold is based on European standard EN 342, oriented to protect professionals exposed to extreme cold conditions, especially in environments with temperatures below -5ºC. Clothing approved to work in cold rooms must be certified to this standard, which measures the following parameters: Y(B): ICLER in [m2 K/W] Thermal insulation measured on a mobile manikin with B sub-garments. A mandatory parameter. AP: Air permeability class (quantified from 1 to 3). A mandatory parameter. WP: Resistance to water penetration. Optional so if the garment has not been tested, the corresponding marking will be X. Characteristics of PPE PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) recommended for cold rooms must fulfil two main objectives: to facilitate the work of the professional and to protect him/her at all times. Therefore, these garments are usually designed with the following properties: Thermal and waterproof materials, able to conserve body heat and protect against sub-zero temperatures. Ergonomics and freedom of movement, according to the needs of each job. Breathability and capacity to facilitate the evacuation of humidity, so that the professional is comfortable at all times. Essential types of clothing In cold rooms, professionals must be appropriately equipped, which implies having approved clothing that also includes the following essential garments: Protective gloves: designed to prevent loss of body heat, preferably resistant to water and moisture seepage and at the same time allowing the professional to work in a comfortable and safe manner. Jackets and other warm clothing: covering the entire torso and with protections such as elasticated cuffs, watertight fastenings and multi-layers. High-visibility clothing: essential in low-light environments or where vehicles operate with reflective elements to improve worker visibility and reduce the risk of accidents. Thermally insulated trousers: to prevent cold penetration of the lower body and with an ergonomic design to ensure freedom of movement. Footwear for cold environments: usually designed with waterproof and insulating materials and, as required, with non-slip soles.
