Safeguarding your employees and your business

With the myriad hand and arm protection products available on the market today, choosing gloves or gauntlets suitable for your workplace can be very difficult. But it's crucial to get it right. Let us help you safeguard your employees from harm and support your organisation's health and safety objectives.

To assist our customers in this important activity, Polyco Healthline offers a FREE audit to organisations with 50 or more glove users. Performed by glove-industry experts, the Polyco Hand Protection Assessment Survey will:

• Provide a detailed report, highlighting the most appropriate hand and arm protection options for your workplace;
• Document a process to support your risk assessment procedures;
• Identify any areas where cost savings can be achieved and procedures improved;
• Help ensure your organisation complies with current EN standards and legislation on The Use of Personal Protective Equipment; and
• Advise on how to avoid injury claims and lost time due to employee ill health.

The survey is conducted with no obligation to buy. Suggested products are available to try, however, as a workplace trial can be a good way to establish employee support. It will enable you to involve workers directly in an initiative that will directly affect them, and can help overcome any pre-formed objections they might have to using gloves.

If you do choose to run a trial of suggested products, a subsequent user survey can be carried out to establish workers' feedback, which can then inform your final purchasing decision.

PPE only protects when your workers wear it.

To encourage staff to do just that, our Sales Team is always happy to help. 

Low-key, engaging and informative, our Toolbox Talks last up to 20 minutes and cover the essentials on the how and why of our products. Whether you want to host a snazzy PowerPoint presentation in the break room, or just have an expert speak authoritatively from the factory floor, you'll find us flexible and willing.

We'll help your workers understand any of the following:

• What is health and safety?
• What is cut resistance?
• How to read glove markings.
• Which product for which task?
