What new or unused technology in the industry are used in producing this product or service?
Innovative XERO foam is used in four keys areas to significantly reduce the transmission of shock, impact, and vibration to the hand. Unlike traditional EVA & Latex foams that are normally used, XERO foam is a new era of materials. Soft and flexible in its natural state, the material instinctively stiffens when impacted to absorb high levels of energy.
The glove is also fitted with two touchscreen-compatible fingertips, using the latest capacitive high abrasion resistant materials enabling workers to use touchscreen devices without the need to remove their gloves.
How will the product/service contribute to any improvements in occupational safety and health?
The glove will offer better protection to workers’ hands reducing the number of broken/fractured fingers caused by dorsal impacts and blows. The XERO palm padding helps to reduce the numbness and tingling in hands from power tool use and helps reduce nerve damage from long term exposure of vibration from power tools.
Has the product/service assisted the reduction of any occupational accidents or injuries?
The glove is a new release – no feedback yet.
