PK Safety Launch Revolutionary Stop ‘N’ Go Safety Gloves
21 Jan 2019
PPE supplier PK Safety are looking to dramatically reduce reversing incidents and accidents in the waste collection and transfer sectors with the launch of their Stop’N’Go range of handling gloves.
PPE Supplier PK Safety are set to dramatically reduce reversing
incidents and accidents in the waste collection and transfer sectors with the
launch of their Stop’N’Go range of handling gloves this month.
PK Safety are a supplier of protective equipment and workwear to a wide range of local authorities, waste collectors and waste processors.
This product innovation was created with the specific aim of tackling the high number of reversing accidents and associated fatalities in the waste industry.
The safety gloves
have been designed to offer what PK Safety call a “convenient switch” for waste companies.
Roy Wells (Managing Director of PK Safety) explained “It’s such a simple idea, we can’t believe it hasn’t been done before. We’ve had fantastic feedback from everyone we’ve presented the Stop ‘N’ Go concept too. There is nothing to install, nothing to hold and nothing you need to be trained on which makes it the convenient switch from your current safety gloves. No stress, no mess. We’ve kept it nice and simple, how safety should be.”
“The real joy of this solution is how it fits seamlessly with the guidelines offered by the HSE for assisting a vehicle whilst reversing. It simply makes communication clearer and more effective and that was the main aim throughout our collaboration with PK Safety.

Safety Gloves for the Summer
Working outside in the heat can be difficult enough without having to worry about making sure you’re wearing the correct PPE. Though it’s tempting to go without wearing it, failure to comply could lead to fines and disciplinaries alongside the risk of injuries. With this in mind, two of our safety gloves from the Stop ‘N’ Go range have been made from a seamless knitted liner. This means the gloves will still allow your hands to breathe in the hottest temperatures while ensuring you are compliant.

PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) For Women
More women are working in industries such as construction, engineering and manufacturing work. As more women enter these traditionally male dominated fields the demand for PPE aimed at woman increases, the one size can fit all mentality does not apply and female employees should not have to “make do” with whatever is available to them at the time.
Wearing ill-fitting PPE will not protect the worker from any potential hazards, work gloves that are too big can slip off and hardhats that are too deep can lead to a greater risk in terms of falling off every time you look up.
Thankfully, one size fits all doesn’t have to be the standard, with more and more companies offering PPE designed and sized for women. Below we’ve highlighted a few products you can purchase from us, along with some helpful tips to ensure women can find the best fitting PPE to do their job properly and comfortably.
