The Health and Safety Executive in the United Kingdom states:
“The handling of flat glass involves the risk of serious personal injury. HSE experience has shown that although the risk is higher in factories where flat glass is manufactured, serious accidents continue to happen in premises where glass is subsequently handled and processed…appropriate protective clothing should be worn when glass is handled manually”.
We strongly believe CutPRO® Cut Resistant Workwear and Cut Resistant Shirts can be deemed as ‘appropriate’. It can effectively help reduce the risk of injuries at the workplace. Ultimately it can even save lives, because if, just if a key artery is cut… the consequences will include rapid blood loss, subsequent shock and potential death.
