Why are ergonomically designed hand protection products more in vogue now than in the past?
As with everything else, the demands on hand protection products are increasing. Companies and their workers have more requirements related to their safety programs and hand protection products than ever before. More stringent OSHA regulations and a growing number of lawsuits require employers to provide safe equipment and a safe working environment. Most manufacturers monitor lost time work injuries and consider them a serious issue in terms of employee welfare and the bottom line. Employers want to know whether the hand protection products and safety equipment they are providing benefit workers in terms of safety and productivity.
