Get a grasp on the food industry

Made up of over 30 industries ranging from slaughterhouses and sugar refineries to ready-prepared meals and drinks production, the Food sector is one of the most hazardous sectors in which to work.

To help employers and those with responsibility for health and safety in the food industry get to grips with a vast array of hand and arm injuries, Marigold Industrial has updated and re-launched its renowned hand protection report - Grasp Food.

The new report, which provides information on the wide range of hazards in the food industry and how to protect the hands and arms of workers against them, is available as an e-magazine from the Marigold Industrial website or by emailing ukenquiries@marigoldindustrial.

com Covering areas from chemical and mechanical hazards, through to preventing cross contamination and the dangers of dermatitis, the new Grasp Food Report is designed to reinforce the message of the importance of hand protection in an industry that is still very much reliant on the hands of workers.
