On-Site Hand Protection Audits

Choosing the Right Safety Gloves Isn't Always Easy

Hands are one of the most commonly injured parts of the body in the workplace.

Yet many businesses still rely on a limited range of gloves across multiple tasks, departments, and sites.

The challenge is that every job comes with different risks. Gloves also need to be comfortable enough for all-day wear and practical enough for employees to work effectively.

When gloves are uncomfortable, bulky, or not suited to the task, workers are less likely to wear them correctly.

This can result in:

Greater injury risk
Lower compliance
Reduced productivity
Increased complaints
Higher product waste

At SMI, our hand protection audits help businesses identify the most suitable glove solutions for their workforce.

How a Hand Protection Audit Helps

Our hand protection audits are designed to assess the tasks your employees perform and the risks they face.

We work directly with your teams to understand:

Workplace hazards
Current glove usage
Comfort and fit concerns
Compliance requirements
Performance expectations

Using this information, we recommend glove solutions that balance protection, dexterity, and comfort.

This helps businesses:

Support compliance
Improve hand safety
Increase glove adoption
Reduce unnecessary spend
Improve workforce satisfaction
Standardise glove selection across sites

The result is a more informed approach to hand protection based on real workplace requirements rather than guesswork.
