Fewer hand injuries

TraffiGlove has provided eight different styles of its safety gloves to tractor manufacturer, Case New Holland, for use by 450 workers at its Basildon manufacturing base.

Opting for a variety of red, amber and green gloves, to suit a host of manufacturing tasks, Case New Holland was impressed by the wide range of gloves and with the  simple three-colour coding system that relates to the glove’s performance on the EN 388 test for cut resistance.

Malcolm Judd, senior safety advisor, said: “The TraffiGlove system was introduced just over a year ago and in that time has helped to reduce recorded hand related injuries by 86%, which is fantastic. What’s more, the number of gloves being disposed of on a monthly basis has been significantly reduced, leading to considerable cost savings.”
