Did you know that the UK industry spends around £30 million pounds on buying chemical protective gloves to use as personal protective equipment? These gloves are available in a wide selection of natural and synthetic materials. According to the Health and Safety Executive, the jobs that are particularly at risk of work related skin problems include hairdressers, dentists, printers, vehicle repair professionals and construction professionals.
Employers are legally obliged to provide suitable and sufficient protection against risks to health from exposure to chemical agents at work. In addition to this, you won’t want your products to get contaminated, so it is important to choose the right gloves. We take hygiene, safety and the security of your staff extremely seriously, which is why our primary aim is to provide you with quality products; from latex gloves to disposable gloves, we won’t let you down.
If you are in the market for disposable gloves then you will have to consider a few points before your purchase, which include:
- Frequency of changing
- Comfort and fit
- Durability
- Colour
- Allergies
At Glove Club, we have a variety of gloves that can be used in a number of applications. For example our range of Nitrile gloves is a great alternative to latex gloves. Perhaps one of your employees has an allergy to latex and is unable to use latex gloves? Both latex and nitrile gloves are resistant to rips and tears, and are available in skin hugging fits if you need to carry out precise tasks. These kinds of gloves are also popular in the medical profession because of their elasticity.
Feel free to browse our website to see the range of gloves we have available. Whether you are interested in powdered or non powdered latex gloves, you won’t be disappointed with us. We also stock non disposable gloves; with our powdered blue latex gloves being particularly popular. They have a smooth surface and provide excellent grip in both wet and dry conditions, making them useful in a wide range of industries; from catering to gardening.
The wellbeing of your employees is paramount, and if you would like more advice about preventing skin problems in the workplace then visit The Health and Safety Executive for practical tips.
