#1 in needlestick and puncture protection Protect agriculture workers with the best puncture- and needlestick-resistant PPE on the market

Needlestick, needle-related, and puncture injuries are a daily hazard for workers in agricultural production, as many livestock producers carry out routine veterinary and maintenance work themselves. This includes administering vaccinations, using heavy machinery, equipment and structure repair, landscaping, and more.

Medical complications from farm-related needlestick injuries can be debilitating, costly, and lead to loss of work time and productivity. Common injuries that can occur are skin infections, allergic reactions, and deep tissue wounds that would require surgery. However, some less common but more serious injuries from farm-related needlestick injury include miscarriages due to hormone products that were in the syringes, a serious cardiovascular event, suppression or coma, systemic infections, and allergic reactions to antibiotics.

Hazards

The key to protection SuperFabric ® brand material*

HexArmor ® sets the industry standard for puncture and needle protection by layering SuperFabric ® brand material within various glove solutions to protect against the most dangerous hazards encountered in the agriculture industry. How does it work? SuperFabric ® blocks and arrests sharps hazards from reaching the skin with rigid guard plates attached to flexible fabric, preventing life-changing injuries and saving millions in medical expenses.

#1 in cut, puncture, and abrasion protection Protect mine workers with PPE purpose-built for belt splicing

Conveyor belt splicing is one of the many hazards that mine workers and other maintenance crews face.

Using the right type of PPE before you start a splice is critical in keeping coal, ores, minerals, and base metals moving efficiently and productively around the world – and avoiding injury to workers.

The key to protection SuperFabric ® brand material*

The dangers of belt splicing

One-inch-thick belts constructed with fiber and steel are sliced with hand-held knives before being spliced back together with steel staples.

HexArmor ® sets the industry standard for cut and puncture protection by layering SuperFabric ® brand material within various hand, arm, and body solutions to protect against the most dangerous hazards encountered in mining operations. How does it work? SuperFabric ® blocks and deflects cut and puncture hazards from reaching the skin with rigid guard plates attached to flexible fabric, preventing life-changing injuries and saving millions in medical expenses.

Maintenance crews are often positioned on their knees during these dangerous cutting operations and must pull knife blades directly toward themselves.

Recordable injuries from deep punctures and lacerations are often serious, and in some cases, life-threatening.

Case study: Successful elimination of injuries

The issue: A major mining company was experiencing a high level of recordable injures while belt splicing. They called HexArmor ® for an on site review of maintenance operations alongside the company safety committee.

Plus, SuperFabric products are fully washable, lowering replacement costs and improving hygiene.

The solution: HexArmor ® engineered a conveyor belt chap with SuperFabric ® brand materials designed to deflect the cutting blades and knives used in belt splicing maintenance.

Skin surface

The result: Belt conveyor maintenance and installation injuries were completely eliminated after the introduction of the HexArmor ® chap.

#1 in cut, puncture, and abrasion protection Protect metal workers with the best PPE on the market

Sheet metal fabrication is a multi-billion-dollar industry with companies across the world making use of the extremely thin and versatile material for a variety of purposes. Though many assume there’s little risk involved, working in the sheet metal industry can lead to frequent hand injuries, such as cuts and lacerations. On any given day, the sharp metal materials, tools used in metalworking, and razor-sharp sheet metal edges can severely injure workers’ hands in the blink of an eye. That’s why gloves with an appropriate ANSI/ISEA rating for cuts, punctures, or abrasions are critical.

#1 in needlestick protection Protect municipality workers with the best needlestick-resistant PPE on the market

It’s a common misconception that only those who work in the medical field are likely to sustain needlestick injuries. However, the prevalence of needle sticks in municipal applications, such as recycling, waste, law enforcement, schools, and other local municipalities is steadily increasing.

Without proper protection, workers who are handling sharps in these environments are susceptible to life-changing needlestick injuries that can lead to bloodborne diseases, including Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV.

#1 in needlestick protection Protect public safety officials with the best needlestick-resistant gloves on the market

Public safety jobs are some of the most dangerous due to unexpected situations and potential hazards – and they often face an overlooked and prevalent threat while on duty: needlesticks.

A needlestick injury poses an elevated danger due to the risk of infection from bloodborne pathogens (diseases), such as Hepatitis B and C, and HIV , which can be extremely detrimental to your health.

First responders, law enforcement officials, and correctional officers are also highly vulnerable to needlestick threats and the risks that come with them.

Needle exposure can cost from $5,000

#1 in needlestick protection Protect waste and recycling workers with the best needlestick-resistant PPE on the market

Recycling, though desirable and necessary, is extremely hazardous to sort through at recycling facilities. On a daily basis, employees are at a high risk of being exposed to scrap metal, electronics, used oil, chemicals, and sharp objects while sorting materials and cleaning up.

Without the proper protection, these kinds of work-related injuries can be disastrous – especially when it comes to hypodermic needles. Coming in contact with a syringe increases a workers’ risk of occupational exposure to various illnesses and bloodborne pathogens, including Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), and others.

NEEDLESTICK-RELATED INJURIESMAY ACCOUNT FOR 45% OF ALL INJURIES at material recovery facilities
