Customised glove plan for your company

What does the glove plan specify?

A glove plan is a systematic overview that is created on the basis of a risk assessment. Similar to the skin protection plan, it recommends which glove types are suitable for which activities and risks. This ensures that the gloves used offer optimum protection, promote wearing comfort and thus also increase acceptance among employees.

The main components of a glove plan

A well-structured hand protection plan consists of several important steps that organise hand protection effectively and support the safety of your employees in the long term:

  • Hazard analysis: Recording all relevant risks in the workplace that require hand protection.
  • Glove selection: Recommendations for suitable glove types, tailored to hazards such as chemical contact, mechanical stress, heat or cold.
  • Care & hygiene: Advice on the correct cleaning, care and storage of gloves to maintain their protective effect.
  • Training: Informing and instructing employees on the correct use and handling of gloves.
  • Regular review: Continuous monitoring and adaptation of the plan to meet new requirements.

How often should a glove plan be updated?

A glove plan should be reviewed and updated regularly to ensure it remains effective and relevant to current conditions. The frequency of updating depends on a number of factors, including

Changes in working conditions: New chemicals, materials or work processes may introduce new risks to hands.

Feedback from employees: Feedback helps to identify potential problems with the previous gloves or to suggest optimisations.

New legal requirements: Changes in occupational health and safety regulations may require the glove plan to be adapted.

New scientific findings: Advances in the field of hand protection and materials can lead to improved protective measures.

It is generally recommended to review the glove plan at least once a year . If significant changes in work processes or new hazards occur, the plan should be adapted immediately.
