Kimberly-Clark has published a white paper to help users make the right decision when buying one of the most critical elements of personal protective equipment (PPE) in a lab environment.
Gloves not only protect scientists and researchers from known and unknown risks, they also protect the scientific process. According to Kimberly-Clark, wearing gloves has been proven to reduce the relative risk of injury by 60%, and 30% of people who experienced a hand injury were wearing the wrong type of glove.
Ensuring the complicated anatomy of the hand is correctly protected for any given task, whilst reducing the impact of the glove on grip, strength and dexterity can make choice a challenging task.
Written by Manish Raval, the White Paper takes users through the process, including the main points for consideration – down to the impact of glove waste on the environment. It can be downloaded here.
