June is National Safety Month, and at Agilix Solutions we’re turning the spotlight on workplace safety all month long. Why? Because a strong safety culture among employees is the cornerstone of successful operations—and the numbers back it up. Stay protected throughout June with the latest from MCR Safety at Agilix Solutions, as OSHA‑backed studies show that for every $1 a company invests in a proactive safety program, it saves $4–$6 in accident‑related costs such as medical bills, lost productivity and insurance premiums.
Workplace safety is about more than compliance. It’s about culture, accountability, and protection. Whether you’re managing a manufacturing floor, overseeing a construction site, or working in a warehouse, the right Persnal Protective Equipment (PPE) can significantly reduce the risk of injury and enhance worker safety. In this article, we’ll introduce you to MCR Safety, a trusted leader in industrial PPE, and take an in-depth look at one of their latest innovations in eye and arm protection.

Innovation at Work: Hulk® 4 Safety Glasses (HK4)
Your eyes are among your most vulnerable—and valuable—assets on the job. According to the CDC, approximately 2,000 U.S. workers sustain job-related eye injuries that require medical treatment every single day. Many of these injuries are preventable with the right eye protection.
Enter MCR Safety’s innovative Hulk® 4 Safety Glasses, engineered to offer robust protection, long-lasting comfort, and modern style.
Key Features of the Hulk® 4 Safety Glasses (HK4):
- Durable, Rugged Design: These glasses are built with a high-impact polycarbonate lens that meets ANSI Z87+ high velocity impact standards, offering excellent protection against flying debris, dust, and other workplace hazards.
- Superior Comfort: A soft, thermoplastic rubber (TPR) nosepiece and temple inserts reduce pressure points and prevent slippage, even during extended wear.
- UV Protection: The HK4 lenses offer 99.9% protection against harmful UV rays, making them perfect for both indoor and outdoor use.
- Modern Aesthetics: Sleek, wraparound styling and multiple lens tint options mean safety doesn’t have to come at the expense of looking sharp.
Whether your team is grinding metal, working around chemical splashes, or simply walking through a high-risk zone, the Hulk® 4s are built for tough environments and meet ANSI standards for impact protection. They’re tough, comfortable, and ANSI-rated to provide what today’s workers need.
Breathable Protection: Cut Pro® Arm Protection
As summer heats up, staying safe on the job shouldn’t mean sacrificing comfort. MCR Safety’s Cut Pro® series delivers lightweight, breathable arm protection designed for high temperatures. The 13-gauge knit allows for excellent airflow, while the soft, high-visibility HyperMax® yarn provides reliable cut protection without compromising comfort.
Tips for Enhancing Workplace Safety Year-Round
According to MCR Safety’s own research, one of the most important factors in injury prevention is employee awareness and access to the right safety gear. National Safety Month is the perfect time to revisit your safety policies, review PPE inventory, and ensure your team has what it needs to stay safe.
Here are a few quick tips to enhance workplace safety this June and beyond:
- Conduct a PPE audit: Are your workers wearing gear that fits properly and meets the hazards they face?
- Offer refresher training: Re-emphasize safety best practices and proper use of equipment.
- Replace outdated equipment: Even the best gear can wear down over time. Replace scratched lenses, torn gloves, or anything that compromises safety.
- Encourage feedback: Your team knows the day-to-day risks better than anyone. Create a culture where safety concerns are heard and addressed.
