The Hand Protection Assessment Survey from Polyco

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

Hands and fingers are the second most common type of injury occurring in the workplace. Selecting the most appropriate hand protection will help safeguard your employees against unavoidable hazards and support your organization’s steps towards improved health and safety practices.

The Hand
Protection Assessment Survey (HPAS®) from Polyco is an ideal starting point
to ensuring your employees and business are protected from the risk of injury.
With such a wide choice available, the process of hand and arm protection selection
is becoming increasingly complex. Specialist PPE distributors are therefore
calling upon manufacturers with greater frequency to provide hand protection
audits and surveys.

A Polyco Hand
Protection Assessment Survey will:

  • Provide
    a documented process to support your risk assessment procedures
  • Help
    ensure your organisation complies with the current EN standards and
    legislation, in particular, “The use of Personal Protective Equipment Directive
    89/656/EEC”
  • Provide
    a detailed report highlighting the most appropriate specifications of hand and
    arm protection
  • Identify
    the areas where improvements can be made both from a cost and best practice
    perspective
  • Will
    be undertaken by glove industry experts
  • Will
    be conducted with no obligation to trial or buy
  • Will
    help safeguard against expensive injury claims and time lost due to staff
    absents through injury

The survey is free for all
organisations with more than 50 gloves users. To arrange an appointment for a
