Collection: Industrial Safety Market | MDS ECO Product Spotlight

Industrial safety is a multi-disciplinary approach to developing safe working practices, ensuring compliance with regulatory agencies, and maintaining the health and well-being of those employed in a particular occupation or workplace. Industrial safety is overseen by federal, state, and local regulatory agencies, such as the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA).   A safety officer, also known as an occupational health and safety officer, is a critical professional in the work environment as they provide safety management and advice, monitoring, and reporting in the workplace, and engage staff in programs that ensure safe practice in the workplace.

ECO Industrial Personal Protective Equipment (P.P.E.)

Protect Life, Earth & Communities

Specific policies and personal protections, such as Personal Protective Equipment (P.P.E.) are put in place to ensure plant and factory worker protection from hazards, risks, accidents, and near misses.  P.P.E. such as disposable gloves, industrial work safety gloves, and work safety apparel, are an important component to compliance and occupational safety. When disposed, however, these items remain in landfills for centuries, compounding growing concerns over plastic landfill and micro-plastic pollution.

Committed to protecting people and to preserving the planet, many manufacturers are taking the next step in sustainability by implementing some of the newest Eco-technologies available in their products.  These Eco-friendly products are designed to ensure compliance while making a positive impact and reducing landfills, carbon footprints, and reliance on fossil fuel-based resources.

New Earth-friendly GreenCircle® certified biodegradable technologies are changing the future of disposable hand protection. For example, SW Sustainable Solution's EcoTek® and SHOWA's Eco-Best Technology® (EBT) features proprietary additives that enable single-use hand protection and reusable chemical-resistant gloves to breakdown in landfills within years, where as conventional offerings requires centuries.

Different chemicals call for different coatings, and different applications requires different style gloves for your protection. Our line of sustainable and reusable chemical-resistant gloves are specifically designed to provide varying levels of hand protection in hazardous substances and conditions without sacrificing performance!

Industrial hand protection can make the difference between a trip to the ER or returning home safely.  A growing segment of Eco-friendly industrial work gloves includes certified carbon neutral, biodegradable, and ANSI safety rated work gloves, sewn with bio-based proprietary yarns engineered to protect the hands against sharp cutting objects, such as glass, knives, steel banding, razors, cardboard and metal.

The need to be protected yet visible in the field or workplace is sometimes critical for personal safety. This is especially true for workers who work on or near moving vehicles or equipment and in low light working conditions. In an effort to help prevent fatalities and injuries from "struck-by" hazards while depleting single-use plastic from global supply chains, workers can draw attention to themselves by wearing high-visibility garments made with recycled P.E.T. (rPET) water bottles and polyester recycled yarns.
