REACH regs welcomed
October 1st 2007 Marigold Industrial
believes the REACH
Regulations (Registration,
Evaluation, Authorisation
and Restrictions of
Chemicals) will be a positive
move forward for hand
protection.
The Regulations which
came into force in June,
mean manufacturers,
importers, distributors and
users who market or use
chemicals have to register
them with the European
Chemicals Agency.
Donald Gillespie, Marigold
Industrial's international
marketing manager, says
"One of the biggest
challenges that end users
face where chemical hand
protection is concerned is
understanding which glove
materials and what type of
gloves will provide the right
levels of protection for
workers coming into contact
with chemicals.
"Clearly we will not know
for several years how
effective the REACH
Regulations will be but we
must welcome any initiative
that aims to increase
awareness of the hazards
presented by anyone coming
into contact with chemicals
in the workplace."
