For Serious Hand Protection, Cover Them With Diamond Texture

Anybody who uses hand protection is well aware of the potential dangers on the job—or they likely wouldn’t be wearing gloves at all. Thousands of injuries occur nationwide every year. Maybe at your facility it’s one or two. For the folks that happened to, of course, that’s one or two too many.

Janitorial & sanitation businesses need predictability and consistency. No one likes surprises, especially when it comes to their hand protection.

Those “bargain” disposable gloves that promised savings of a couple bucks per box? Maybe they hold up OK with light-duty tasks. But maybe they don’t—and workers ended up with glove after glove ripping, or leaking when working with cleaning solutions, or shredding when even the slightest resistance is met.

Does the Color of Industrial Gloves Make a Difference? Only If You Make It So

Color is important in any discussion of disposable gloves, even if there are no industry standards for different colors of gloves.
