NEWSFLASH NEW HAND SAFETY REPORT FROM TRAFFIGLOVE
TraffiGlove has released its newly updated Hand Safety Report for 2015, which covers the latest information and innovation in hand protection.
As a source of information for those involved in keeping hands safe and comfortable across many different industries, the Hand Safety Report has been developed to help improve overall awareness of hand injuries and how best to avoid them.
Supported by extensive research comprising the latest health and safety statistics from the UK and Europe, the Hand Safety Report 2015 tackles the top five hand safety issues, looks at European Standards for hand protection and covers risk assessment myths and how best to avoid Hand- Arm Vibration Syndrome.
The Hand Safety Report also offers advice on how to ensure the ‘best fit’ for gloves, as well as providing glove care and maintenance tips.
Hand safety is a key issue for many industries. Without sufficient protection, injuries and skin conditions can occur – one of the most common is dermatitis, which is caused by irritants and can be particularly debilitating. The appropriate glove for the job at hand can significantly reduce accidents and irritants for a more effective working environment.
Sean Black of Imtech, a customer of TraffiGlove, said: “The Hand Safety Report is a valuable source of information for any business, like Imtech, who know their people are central to their development and success. The report provides a thorough overview of hand safety issues with insights to learn from, be aware of and implement. I would highly recommend the report to any health and safety practitioner or organisation looking to improve their hand safety and protection.”
Established in 2008, TraffiGlove is a designer and manufacturer of
PPE safety gloves and is committed to promoting hand safety using a combination of innovative product design and hands-on safety training.

SAFER LOGISTICS FOCUS AT THE HEALTH & SAFETY EVENT 2015
A new Safer Logistics Seminar Theatre and Feature Area has been added to the Health and Safety Event, taking place on 24th to 26th March 2015 at the NEC.
The aim of Safer Logistics is to encourage those in the supply chain sector to take a proactive approach to safety. Throughout the event, the new theatre will feature a host of seminars, which will offer advice on tackling safety hot spots in warehousing and logistics.
Safer Logistics is officially sponsored by Alcumus, Toyota Material Handling UK and A-Safe; as well as supported by partners such as the Fork Lift Truck Association (FLTA), the United Kingdom Warehousing Association (UKWA), and the Food Storage and Distribution Federation (FSDF).
Examples of content taking place at Safer Logistics are: a panel discussion around the use of sprinklers in

the warehouse; a seminar looking at a two-pronged approach to the management of health and safety in the road haulage sector; and an exhibition area hosting a cross-section of product and service providers.
Chris Sturman, CEO of the FSDF, said: “Having followed the Safer Logistics campaign in the media, we are very excited to see it extended into the Health & Safety Event. This is a growing exhibition, in the heartland of the UK manufacturing industry and the logistics sector and offers companies a great opportunity to become more proactive in relation to their safety practices. The exhibition dovetails well with our own initiatives such as the flagship Health and Safety Leadership Programme and the Health & Safety Awards, both of which we launched last year.”
The Health & Safety Event is joined by three co-located exhibitions – Maintec
2015, Facilities Management 2015 and Cleaning 2015. This co-location of events ensures that any visitor will maximise the time they spend attending the NEC.
The Health & Safety Event Director Tim Else said: “Four complementary exhibitions and educational events under one roof at the NEC creates the central UK hub that health and safety professionals really want – in the centre of the country. Safety, facilities, maintenance and cleaning and hygiene suppliers will serve to provide a beneficial visiting experience.”
