Everyone knows you need the right tools for the job, but in today’s safety-first working world not having the gloves to hold them is just as much as an issue. A PPE shortage can cause serious complications in any industry during the current pandemic, where logistics has hit an all-time low and need for PPE an all-time high. In this post, we’ll show you how BUY ANY GLOVES can help you during a PPE shortage – and the steps you need to take to keep working.

PPE Shortage Best Practices

1.      Stop All Work

Without safety gloves, masks and other essential PPE, work cannot continue. The losses in time and minor increase to cost is worth avoiding the headache a health & safety violation can cause. The possibility of accidents increases greatly when the right PPE isn’t given to workers. For example, two-fifths of workplace hand injuries are due to cuts and punctures. The right gloves are needed to do any job safely and securely. With the current pandemic, a lack of masks could shut down your business for an extended period of time and leave employees financially and clinically vulnerable. When a PPE shortage becomes reality, it’s time to put the brakes on your work and consider your next steps, for the safety of your business and everyone involved.

2.      Prioritise

Every team in your business likely has differing PPE needs. Therefore, it can be difficult to prioritise who takes priority. When it comes to construction, your workers need gloves to get any job done safely, so gloves are likely to be a priority. Restaurant work in this current pandemic requires medical protection, chiefly face shields.  Your PPE priorities should be to ensure your employees can work safely and effectively day-to-day, PPE required for miscellaneous tasks can wait during a PPE Shortage.
