Marigold industrial challenges health & safety managers to glove up

Hand and arm protection specialist Marigold Industrial is challenging those with responsibility for health and safety in the workplace to beat the clock and equip virtual staff with the right gloves for the job with a brand new online web game.

‘Glove Up’ sees players pit their skills on 3 levels of difficulty trying to equip virtual members of staff with a pair of gloves from the company’s new cut resistant Puretough P Series, which features the new Indicator System.

When a level has been completed players are asked a question, which if answered correctly will see the player move on to the challenge of the next level.

Running from October to the end of 2011, players will be ranked by their scores, the person with the highest score at the end of the year taking the first prize of a trip to Portugal for 2 people. Other prizes available for high scorers will include an iPod Nano, a set of mobile speakers and for the highest weekly a USB stick.

“We are delighted with the way Glove Up has been developed and hope as many people as possible take the time to play and see how they score. It is meant to be enjoyable, but there is still a message underlying the game – one of the importance of ensuring that workers are equipped with the right gloves for the job – especially when dealing with cut hazards,” said Melinda Ferrari of Marigold Industrial Ltd.

“Glove Up has been produced in a range of European languages and the scores will be listed on a leaders board so players will be able to see who is at the top of the leader board and how many points are needed to be scored to be in with a chance of the taking one of the prizes, which should, we hope, create some healthy competition,” added Melinda.
