goSafe Facility Hand Protection Guide

Food Processing Industry

Along with cut protection from processing equipment, food safety workers also depend on heat and cold protec - tion. The unique setting in this industry constantly places the hands of workers in harsh environments. Give them the support they need with an array of gloves to protect them during each task.

Additional conditions specific to food processing can be thermal protection or wet and oily grip protec - tion. Cold protection gloves can feature cotton knit or a cotton/poly blend liner while Neoprene tends to work best for heat protection. Try TouchNTuff ® for wet grip, Therm-A-Knit ® for cold protection and Scorpio ® brand gloves when heat conditions affect your choice. Food contact is obviously a factor in glove choice for this industry, so durable gloves like Microflex ® or Dura-Touch ® , which offer both worker safety and meet food safety standards, are a must.
