On site visits around the world we often see wrong gloves in the wrong working environment, cotton/nylon coated gloves in construction sites, for example where moving heavy objects is required. These gloves are not the best barrier for protection.
We have observed that even in quarries and mines workers are using basic nylon coated gloves where it is clear that Cut Gloves should be used as: a/. a more robust glove on abrasion, b/. protection from sharp objects. Often this is results from a company cutting cost at the expense of workers, or simply that workers may not know better, as they are not properly educated by the safety managers, and because gloves are frequently not seen as the most important protective wear compared to say; hard hats and shoes.
When sourcing lighting to install in hazardous areas there are various things to consider. These include cost, performance and reputation of the manufacturer, but how much thought do end users give to ease of maintenance? For many, the answer to this question is probably, ‘not enough’.

Brady Corporation introduces the HandySorb, a new, practical tool to remove spills in many workplaces. The HandySorb mop features an extendable handle and works with engineered pads to safely remove spills in a highly efficient and easy way.
Safe spill clean-up
HandySorb works with inert meltblown polypropylene pads and pillows that do not react with any spilled substance. Its no touch quick release system enables users to clean up a wide range of fluids without ever having to touch any of the removed substances. If necessary, the extendable handle can be used to keep a safe distance while removing a spill.
Easy to use
The HandySorb mop is easy to handle and is more ergonomic when compared to using only pads or granular spill control solutions. Using the easy to snap on HandySorb pads, users will experience less need to stoop, bend or kneel to succesfully remove a spill. Fully extended, HandySorb increases its user's reach with 1.83 metres to offer better and easier accessibility in difficult to reach areas.
Highly efficient
The pads used with the HandySorb can absorb spills in seconds. Each pad absorbs up to 25 times its weight in spilled fluids to reduce waste disposal volume and cost. This makes the HandySorb a highly efficient tool for spill removal in any industry.
