Hand protection
August 1st 2006 Around 750 staff work at BP's chemical manufacturing plant in Hull producing more than one million tonnes of chemical products per year.
Staff work with a range of hazardous materials, including acetic acid, ethyl acetate and vinyl acetate. With hands in the direct firing line for potential injury, BP works with Marigold Industrial to provide appropriate gloves for members of its plant and lab staff.
With a wide range of hand hazards on site, two PPE solutions are provided in the shape of Marigold Industrial's G25B and GO4Y gloves The GO4Y is used almost exclusively by staff working in the laboratory, while the G25B is used across the site.
The blue nitrile G25B provides a high level of performance as it is resistant to a wide range of solvents and oil-based chemicals. It includes a flock lining for added comfort and raised palm pattern for enhanced grip.
Andy Bell, senior health and safety adviser, says "The Marigold Industrial gloves perform extremely well from a protective perspective and provide a good fit which is important when staff have to wear them throughout their shift." More articles from Marigold Industrial Ltd: |
