Get ready for ergo-centric gloves.

Abstract

All occupational safety professionals are dedicated to reducing injuries. Gloves play an essential role in this pursuit. With the diverse selection of gloves on the market, there is no longer any excuse to perform a hazardous task without the correct hand protection. The keys to success are identifying a glove style that will protect and at the same time be comfortable enough to wear, ensuring an adequate supply of gloves and providing employee training so every worker will know what the correct glove is for each task. Manufacturers are doing their part to provide new and innovative solutions. By involving workers in the glove selection process, employers can take a huge step in increasing glove use and consequently, in reducing hand injuries. It's well worth the time.
