The importance of hand ergonomics

In most industrial environments, repetitive manual tasks are an unavoidable daily requirement, with workers performing labour-intensive activities such as lifting or lowering, pushing or pulling and holding or restraining tools and other items.

How to prevent cross contamination

Cross-contamination risk is a major concern in the food supply chain, minimizing the likelihood through adherence to solid food safety practices is essential.

Touchscreen

Understanding touchscreen gloves

The rise of digital technology across many sectors has made it necessary for workers to interact with touch screen devices such as smartphones and tablets. An overwhelming number of workplace hand injuries occur because staff remove – or entirely fail to don – adequate protection solutions.

The importance of impact protection

Impact injuries leading to crush, pinching or cut penetration subsequently result in a range of conditions from bruising to bone fracture, nerve damage and in extreme cases, amputation. 

 

How to select the right chemical body protection

Every workplace is different and presents its own specific set of risks where worker contact with some chemical types may be unavoidable. To determine the most appropriate chemical protective clothing choice, a thorough hazard assessment must be undertaken.

How to manage heat exposure

Heat exposure is not limited to outdoor environments, with indoor locations also posing significant risk when workers are confined to poorly ventilated areas, or heat producting settings such as kitchens, foundries, laundries or chemical plants.
