Chemical Protective Glove Selection Tool *Prepare for February's Chemical Substance Management Awareness Month!

Are you prepared for the Chemical Substance Management Emphasis Month for fiscal year 2024 (February 1 to February 28)?

In April 2024, due to amendments to the Industrial Safety and Health Act, it has become mandatory for workers to use appropriate protective equipment when manufacturing or handling chemicals that may cause skin or health disorders. This regulation has primarily applied to the manufacturing industry, but moving forward, it will also need to be implemented across a wide range of sectors, including the food and beverage industry and the cleaning industry, which are less familiar with chemical management. Proper risk assessments and selection of protective equipment will be necessary. To promote awareness and understanding of this regulation, a Chemical Management Awareness Month will be held in February 2025. Let’s take this opportunity to ensure a safer working environment and strengthen efforts to protect employee health. Our company has been a leader in the personal protective equipment industry, including protective gloves, for over 130 years. We possess over 50,000 types of chemical permeability data and a wide range of product offerings developed during this time, and we can assist in the selection of appropriate chemical protective gloves based on this data.
