Improve safety standards
We know from the HSE report that there is still more we can do to reduce the number of injuries further, and if you’re managing a workforce dealing with any potential hazard, the responsibility falls on you to ensure you’re providing suitable PPE for the tasks carried out by workers.
Educate your workforce
Not all gloves offer the same protection and there are often many factors involved when deciding on the correct gloves including the amount of cut resistance required, chemical use, grip required and load handling. Choosing the wrong gloves could leave you with insufficient protection and result in possible injury. This is why it’s so important to educate and train your workforce on the proper use of hand protection.
Simplify choice
Confusion over which type of hand protection is needed may lead to workers wearing the wrong safety gloves for the job. Reviewing your hand protection will help you to assess specific tasks that require safety gloves and match them accordingly with the correct glove.
