Large Steel Manufacturer Reduces Injuries After Using HexArmor

November 05, 2007

A large steel manufacturer was historically averaging between 14 & 17 injuries per month at their sites where workers were wearing traditional safety gloves. Since they put HexArmor in place, their injury numbers have hit ‘rock bottom’, dropping to an average of less than one per month. The few they’ve had since then were not laceration related. This reduction in injuries translates into BIG-TIME savings in medical, insurance, etc. costs.

One group wears the HexArmor 9007s under big welding gloves. When they need to do a task requiring dexterity and feel, they take the welding gloves off and accomplish the task with the 9007 still on. Most injuries occur when they take the gloves off, so the fact that they can leave HexArmor gloves on and still perform the task prevents the risk of injury.
