Fine Gauge Puncture-Resistant
Punkban™ Work Gloves
If you've ever accidentally been pricked by a needle, had a splinter lodged in your skin or worked with barb wire, you understand how crucial it is to have the right protective gear while on the job.
According to the Assistant Secretary for Legislation's "Statement for the Record on Needlestick Injuries", needlestick injuries make up a significant portion of health care worker injuries. The organization estimates that anywhere from 600,000 to 800,000 of these injuries occur in the United States every year, with approximately 50% of these workers choosing not to report these incidences.
Worrying about punctures is often extremely damaging and stressful to affected workers. In cases where a worker is unsure about the severity of the hazard, waiting to find out if it will have dangerous consequences is also extremely upsetting, which can affect the family and friends of the distressed worker as well. Stressing over a puncture injury can cause productivity to spiral downward and an injury can be costly to the company.
Splinters & Puncture Hazards Don't Stop at the Hand
While there is no such thing as a puncture-proof glove, wearing puncture-resistant gloves whenever necessary, even if the risk is only minimal, prevents unnecessary stress and fear while providing the wearer with a better chance of impeding or reducing an injury.

*Please note: there is no European standard for needle resistance. Current Industry practice is to utilize the American Standard ASTM F2878 as a guide, and to allow comparisons between different products. These products are not needle proof. Your own risk assessment therefore needs to be undertaken to decide the suitability of this product.
