A guide to cut protection
Monday, 16 September, 2013
Health and safety managers need to know about the rating systems used to classify hand safety PPE and which organisations are responsible for setting the standards.

This is especially important in industries such as automotive assembly where wounds to the hand represent 14% of all workers compensation claims.
