Workers in safe hands

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

Q-Safe, a comprehensive range of personal protective equipment (PPE), which is exclusively available from Buck & Hickman, has launched a new range of gloves which are said to not only offer superior hand protection, but benefit from a variety of enhanced functionality and user benefits.

The range, developed using Dyneema technology, a high modulus polyethylene (HMPE) fibre which is cut resistant, includes gloves with a level 3, and level 5 cut protection – the highest level of protection according to EN 388.

Other benefits include an ultra-lightweight design and enhanced dexterity, and the ability to radiate heat away from users’ hands, ensuring all-day comfort. The gloves have also been certified ‘vend-ready’ and are available through Buck & Hickman’s industrial vending service, Invend.

Nadine Sherwood, PPE product manager of Buck & Hickman, said: “With changes to EN388 coming into force this year, our customers can rest assured the gloves have undergone the most rigorous testing and retain either a level 3 or level 5 cut rating. As well as being extremely cut resistant, the gloves have been designed with the user in mind, providing optimum comfort and movability."
