In fact, a single serious hand injury can cost tens of thousands of dollars when you factor in medical bills, lost productivity, workers’ compensation, and replacement labor.
The frustrating part? Many of these injuries are preventable — with the right gloves.
The Real Cost of Choosing the Wrong Gloves
When workers are wearing gloves that don’t fit the task, the risks multiply:
-
Reduced protection — A glove not designed for the hazard (cut, puncture, abrasion, chemical exposure, or heat) offers little real defense.
-
Lower compliance — If gloves are uncomfortable, bulky, or cause hand fatigue, workers are more likely to remove them.
-
Unexpected costs — Beyond injury expenses, improper glove selection leads to higher replacement rates and wasted budget.
For plant managers and safety directors, glove selection isn’t just about comfort — it’s a critical safety and cost-control decision.
