How Clean Are Your
Industrial Work Gloves?
It’s probably something that
you never thought about
before. It’s certainly a
conversation stopper at
parties, but something very
serious on a professional
level. Gloves come out of
the packet, so they have to
be clean. Don’t take this for
granted though as alot of the
gloves today contain residual
chemicals left in the glove
from the production process.
The cleanliness issue
The problem is quite
widespread - so say
studies by the Institute of
Occupational Medicine
(BGFA) at the Ruhr University
in Bochum (Germany), and
the Danish Technological
Institute for the Environment.
The BGFA found that 45% of
the leather gloves tested
positive to Chromium (VI)
impurities, despite the fact
that most modern tanning
agents are free from large
amounts of Chromium (VI).
Likewise, the Danish
Technological Institute for the
Environment found 35% of
the leather gloves tested
contained Chromium (VI) in
levels above the acceptable
parts per million (PPM) guides
for harmful ingredients.

Think of it another way. Why

Unfortunately, this is the case
for many glove users today,
but it doesn’t have to be you
or your workforce. It’s
essential to check if the
gloves are dermatologically
accredited - and don’t fall into
the trap of thinnking that the
more expensive they are, or
the larger the company they

will be.
How can ATG help?
You can choose from our

confidence that ALL our
gloves are Dermatologically
Accredited. Additionally, they
are manfactured in our own
factories in accordance with
the REACH European
Community Regulation on
chemicals (EC 1907/2006),
and are yearly tested and in
accordance with the
Oeko-Tex® 100 standard. We
are also ISO 9001 certified
and ISO 14001 accredited.
