Proper PPE assessments can lead to significant benefits for companies, including saved time, money, and resources. For expansive or global companies, assessments can not only help identify the proper PPE but also help standardize solutions across multiple facilities and applications. This can help reduce SKU counts and drive efficiencies while addressing the same safety and performance needs.

For example, the employees of a multinational theme park recently noted a lack of dexterity and standardization with current PPE products. Our Ansell Guardian assessment team conducted a complete PPE assessment, including preliminary interviews with employees to better understand the specific tasks and hazards unique to their operation.

Our assessment revealed overall needs for dexterity, abrasion protection, ergonomic fit, and oil grip. Identifying these requirements allowed the company to implement a better PPE solution that delivered all needed benefits and reduced their number of SKUs. MICROFLEX® XCEED® XC-310 was one of the key disposable products introduced and was able to deliver dexterity and ergonomic benefits throughout multiple departments of the park, such as janitorial, sanitation, and hospitality. The assessment also standardized PPE across the company’s business units with total cost performance savings of over $200k and growing.
