Ansell Chemsafe™ is designed to help ensure that you and your workers are adequately protected. It contains critical chemical handling advice, support, information and Specware™ - the ultimate software tool for selecting the right glove for the right chemical.
The skin is the main organ of the human body and offers little protection against chemical products such as alcohols, solvents, chlorides, acids and bases. Some chemical products can cause local damage, such as skin irritation and chemical burn. However, some chemicals can also be absorbed through the skin and enter the blood causing damage to internal organs, leading to acute poisoning, seizures, unconsciousness and death.
Wearing protective gloves are crucial to protect the workers hands from immediate and long-term chemical risks and provide dexterity and comfort.
There is no ‘one glove fits all’ chemical handling solution.
Even the best-made, most sophisticated glove may not be the right glove.
Knowing which glove for which chemical is a real ‘acid test’. Fail the acid test and you put yourself and your employees at risk of costly and serious injury - even death!
You can test your own chemical handling knowledge with our interactive Acid Test . You may find the results surprising!
