AG Insurance - Soudal Celebrate World Safety & Health at Work with Safety Jogger

Every April 28th marks World Day for Safety and Health at Work. This year, the focus is on the impact of climate change on occupational safety and health, as announced by the International Labour Organization. The theme underscores the increasing risks that workers face globally, including extreme weather, air pollution, and exposure to harmful substances, making the need for effective protective solutions more critical than ever.

In partnership with their sponsor Safety Jogger, AG Insurance - Soudal and Soudal Quick-Step, are taking proactive steps to ensure the safety and health of their team. Safety Jogger, known for its high-quality safety clothing and footwear, plays a crucial role in providing the team with the necessary protection, especially in an environment as demanding as professional cycling.

Safety Jogger, a leading brand under the Cortina group, has grown from a Belgian brand of safety shoes into an international powerhouse that offers Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) from head to toe. Their commitment to innovation and quality ensures that each product meets the highest safety standards, which is essential for the high-performance environment of professional cycling.

Innovation at Safety Jogger is driven by a desire to be at the forefront of design, comfort, and protection. With continuous investments in product development and state-of-the-art technology, Safety Jogger produces some of the most advanced safety products in the market. This includes not only footwear but also a new range of workwear, gloves and head protection, offering comprehensive protective solutions.

For AG Insurance - Soudal and Soudal Quick-Step, this partnership means that every team member, from riders to mechanics and support staff, is well-equipped to handle the rigors of the cycling season safely. Safety Jogger covers everything from head to toe, ensuring that the entire team can perform at their best without compromising on safety.

The collaboration between AG Insurance - Soudal, Soudal Quick-Step, and Safety Jogger is more than just a sponsorship; it's a commitment to safety and excellence. As the teams prepare for the challenges ahead, they do so with the assurance that they are supported by the best in safety innovation and technology. This commitment not only enhances performance but also aligns with the global goals of promoting a safe, healthy, and decent work environment, as highlighted by the International Labour Organization.

As we observe World Day for Safety and Health at Work, AG Insurance - Soudal and Soudal Quick-Step, together with Safety Jogger, remind us of the importance of protecting those who work hard to achieve their dreams. This partnership stands as a testament to what can be accomplished when safety is placed at the forefront of operational priorities.

“On World Health and Safety Day, we want to emphasize once again how important safety is to us at Safety Jogger Works. It's not just about a set of rules; it's in our DNA. We commit every day to protecting our team members and the riders of the Soudal Quick-Step and AG Insurance - Soudal cycling teams. We sponsor both the men's and women's teams and offer clothing and footwear that truly fit. Our products are tailored to the anatomy of the wearer: women's shoes are made on a different last than men's shoes, and the cut of our women's clothing is very well thought out. Together with our teams and partners, we're not just making workplaces safer, but also building a better future for all of us.” - Tom Gybels, Global General Director, Safety Jogger Works
