Choosing gloves simple right? August 31st 2010 Well it seems simple, everyone has an opinion yet lots of decisions are made on emotive and emotional preferences when it comes to choosing gloves.
So why is it so difficult?
Similar manufacturing facilities and processes across the global which logically should lend itself to the same glove being used in the same application. So why are safety officers specifying so many different types and frequently providing the wrong product to the workforce to get the job done?
Gloves are unique in PPE as they are the membrane between the worker and the jobs they do so it essential to match comfort with safety and ergonomics to ensure production lines can be kept running at optimal levels. The balance between comfort, safety and ergonomics creates many billions of possible combinations and that is just for the worker needs.
What makes it even more challenging is then to match a glove against this. The number of gloves offered by manufacturers and distributors in the UK totals many thousands. All explained correctly technically yet frequently in a language incomprehensible to the person choosing and using.
