Placing the spotlight on heroes of workplace protection

Ansell will be showcasing innovations from its unrivalled portfolio of sustainable and high-performance safety solutions, from PPE to breakthrough technologies, and consulting expertise. Highlighting its comprehensive protection against hazards in chemical, mechanical, and cleanroom environments. 

With over one million workers dying each year globally from exposure to hazardous chemicals, the world’s largest event promoting occupational safety, security and health is a timely opportunity for Ansell to reaffirm its commitment in protecting workers and the environment. 

Making the Right Choice of PPE 

Fundamental to Ansell’s mission is to educate and inform on choosing the right PPE for the right task. Failure adds to workers’ risks, including harmful chemicals which can permeate materials unnoticed, cuts, and abrasions. With risks increasing – chemical production is set to double by 2030 – Ansell’s knowledge and regulatory expertise, gained from 130 years’ experience as a trusted global brand, is unmatched. Ansell’s commitment to better protecting people, combined with better protection of the environment, empowers organisations to build safer, smarter and more sustainable workplaces.

Recognising The Workplace Hero in Us All 

The key theme at Ansell’s stand, Booth B11 (Hall 13) is Protecting Your Workforce and the Environment. However, this is underpinned by an acknowledgement of the day-to-day responsibility of safety managers in choosing the right PPE to protect their workforce. The Workplace Hero In All Of Us is conveyed by dynamic images of martial arts heroes, who each wear a showcased product, visually reflecting the discipline, balance and dedication that martial arts heroes and safety managers share. 

Through different experiences, visitors are led through the innovative technologies behind Ansell’s solutions, the commitment to sustainability, and how to make the right choice of PPE, and are also able to test product claims in informative and engaging ways. A photobooth lets visitors emulate the images with their own heroic transformation. Once transformed, they can then put their new hero status into action in a game of protection.

Showcasing Next Generation Chemical, Mechanical and Cleanroom Protection

The right choice of PPE is always a predominant visitor concern. Through the Lift, Learn, and Experience visitors receive hands-on knowledge of appropriate protection in seconds. Hero products featured include AlphaTec 53–002/003 gloves, whose multilayered barrier technology offers broad chemical protection. In addition to  AlphaTec 38-001/2/3 gloves, with a unique water-based butyl formulation, which offers comfortable protection against aggressive chemicals, and AlphaTec® 58-835/735 gloves, which combine chemical-resistance with cut protection.

Also showcased is the TouchNTuff 93-800 single-use glove made with green energy that’s the first to provide a minimum of 15-minute splash protection against acetone, in combination with cut protection. At the same time, the Ansell Earth sustainable range displays more broadly how Ansell is reducing its environmental impact, protecting people and the planet, while maintaining the highest safety standards.

With fit crucial to ensure optimum efficiency and protection, HyFlex 11-574 gloves incorporate Ansell’s AEROFIT Precision Comfort Technology, which makes gloves up to 30% thinner for fingertip sensitivity when doing mechanical tasks. 

Finally, Ansell’s enhanced cleanroom solutions, following the addition of Kimberly-Clark’s PPE to its portfolio, is displayed with Polaris Xtra Nitrile Gloves which exhibit extended chemical and chemotherapy drugs splash protection.
