CHEMREST® On-Line
Chemical-Resistant Glove Directory
According to the Environmental Science and Technology, there are more than 350,000 chemicals and chemical mixtures in the world registered for commercial production use. Operators who come into contact with chemicals, hazardous substances and gases can be putting their hands at risk to injury.
SHIELDING THE TOXIC EFFECTS OF CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES
Chemical-resistant or chemical protection gloves are essential to protecting the skin. These safety gloves can be the difference between hands that stay safe and unaffected by hazardous chemicals, dangerous liquids and toxic substances and those that are scarred and otherwise harmed through inadequate protection.
PROTECTIVE MEASURES
Proper attention, up-to-date knowledge and proper protective measures are critical to protecting the hands. Unless you have an on-staff chemist at your facility, selecting the proper glove for the task can be a tricky ordeal. This is where SHOWA’s ChemRest® chemical protection platform can help!
Chemical injuries are costly to both the employee and the employer; medical fees, legal fees and fines are only the monetary costs paid by companies due to hand protection failures that could have been avoided. But let’s not forget about the days-away-from-work, the reduced production time, and the serious complications that workers with chemical injuries can go on to suffer.
