Multi-Purpose PPE Solutions: More Important Than Ever Before

It’s no secret that we all deal with a need to multi-task as part of our daily lives, particularly when at work. Now more than ever, workers must be able to balance various tasks and priorities as part of their daily work, which mean they need PPE that offers more than one type of protection or performance attribute, such as grip, tactility or dexterity. The need for personal protective equipment that meets a variety of work task and comfort needs is no longer a “nice-to-have” – it has become a necessity.

PPE that not only serves multiple functions, but also provides a degree of comfort for the worker, will help ensure compliance throughout their work day. Luckily, new options exist due to innovative materials and designs from PPE manufacturers. For example, the Ansell HyFlex^Ò 11-840 glove has a liner that provides a snug, second-skin feel as it tightens the fit across the palm for added protection, comfort and tactility. The improved dexterity helps provide a sense of safety and confidence when workers are moving between different tasks. It’s also made with nitrile patent pending foam coating that’s 20 percent more breathable than comparable formulations – providing cooler, drier hands and less sweat.

This new generation of multi-purpose glove solutions ends the need to compromise, ultimately making the everyday lives of managers and workers safer and easier from start to finish.
