Safety in the workplace can never be taken for granted or
overlooked. Safety awareness is key to reducing accidents, incidents, personal
injury and even death. Hence, the need for the correct range of industry standard
and high quality safety products and work wear to ensure you’re protected from
head to toe.
Hand
protection
Most manual workers will have sustained a hand injury at
some point in their life. Whether it’s a minor scratch, splinter, cut or more
serious injuries such as burns, crushed or severed fingers, all of these can be
easily avoided. Gloves can also protect against electrical shock. A variety of
gloves in natural and synthetic materials are available to protect your hands
from heat, flames and sparks, sharp objects, chemicals and dangerous power
tools.
Choosing
the right hand protection
• Know your hand size. Gloves come in different sizes; ensure
that your gloves fit correctly
• Choose a glove recommended for the job
• Always check for general wear and tear, i.e. holes and
rips before use
• Do not wash your gloves with solvents, detergents or chemicals
that can cause harm or damage.
