Every $1 spent on proper PPE saves $3 in avoided costs.

Those avoided costs come from fewer injuries, less downtime, and reduced fines. For safety managers, that means PPE isn’t just an expense — it’s an investment with measurable ROI.

The Cost of Cutting Corners

According to OSHA, the average workplace hand injury costs tens of thousands of dollars between medical bills, lost time, and productivity. Multiply that by multiple incidents in a year, and the true price of inadequate PPE is staggering.

Gloves, hard hats, and other essentials might feel like “small purchases,” but when they’re selected strategically, they protect far more than just your workers’ hands — they safeguard your bottom line.

Why a Strong Glove Program Matters

Hands are one of the most frequently injured body parts in industrial settings. A strong glove program ensures:

• Task-Specific Protection: The right glove for the right hazard, whether cut, heat, or chemical exposure.

• Worker Buy-In: Comfortable, job-appropriate gloves increase compliance.

• Reduced Waste: Stocking properly matched gloves reduces replacements and overspending.

At Advanced Safety & Industrial Supply, we’ve seen firsthand how a thoughtful glove program not only reduces injuries but also cuts procurement costs and increases efficiency.

The ROI of Safety

Think of PPE as a business investment:

• Injuries avoided = lower insurance and medical costs

• Downtime avoided = higher productivity

• Fines avoided = fewer compliance headaches

When all three come together, the savings far outweigh the initial cost of the equipment.
