Working in close conjunction with BAM Construct UK, one of the UK's leading construction services organisations, Sperian Protection has developed a novel and effective method of using protective gloves as a medium for delivering safety messages to workers in the construction industry.

The messages are indelibly printed on the cuffs of the gloves that are safety wear on BAM Construct sites. They are, therefore, seen by the workers every time they put on or remove their gloves.


Frank Garnett, Director at BAM Construct UK: "The workers see the safety messages all the time and, whether they are directly aware of them or not, they register subliminally. We are, therefore, confident that the result will be a further enhancement of the already very high safety standards on our sites."

"This may seem like a very simple idea, and it's a truism that the simplest ideas are often the best," said Stephen Donaghy of Sperian Protection. "However, very few suppliers of protective gloves can translate this idea into practice. Sperian is able to do so because it has its own glove manufacturing plant and can, therefore, offer complete flexibility to meet customer needs."

In the interests of enhancing safety standards throughout the construction industry, Sperian Protection, with the full agreement and encouragement of BAM Construct UK, is making the new safety-message gloves available to any organisation that would like them.
