Don’t Leave Your Hands Naked

It’s often said that a worker’s greatest tools are their hands. With any job or task, there are minor or significant injury risks. In theory, this makes the need to provide appropriate protection while maintaining maximum function a top priority. 

KEEP YOUR GLOVES ON

PPE can’t protect you if it’s not being worn. That’s why it’s important that your PPE is comfortable and doesn’t inhibit your ability to do your job. With gloves, for example, if they are bulky, restrictive, or flat out uncomfortable, the natural instinct is to remove them so you can do your job more comfortably. But this also removes your protection and significantly increases your chances of being injured. And lets be honest hand injuries not only keep you away from your job, it affects your day-to-day life as well.

THE SOLUTION TO UNCOMFORTABLE GLOVES

So where do we find this unicorn that delivers the required protection while also providing the dexterity, function, and comfort we instinctively prefer? For tasks requiring a general purpose or cut resistant glove, PIP offers a full array of ATG® MaxiFlex® gloves that provide this unique set of qualities.

GENERAL PURPOSE TASKS

MaxiFlex® Ultimate™ is the #1 industrial glove, providing a first-of-its-kind combination of protection, dexterity, and comfort. Despite a thinner design for increased flexibility, the MaxiFlex® Ultimate™ offers exceptional abrasion resistance. The patented, breathable Nitrile Micro-Foam coating helps keep hands cooler so workers are more comfortable and more likely to keep their gloves longer.

ADDED CUT PROTECTION

While MaxiFlex® Ultimate™ has become the world standard for precision handling gloves in dry environments, the MaxiFlex® Cut™ adds EN 3/ANSI A2 cut protection to the equation. The result: hand protection that achieves the fit, feel, and function that workers want while providing protection that safety managers require.
