As you know there are various types of facilities, each of which have various applications that may require the use of disposable gloves. The different applications within a facility have different levels of safety and protection needed. Some of these tasks may be core to business function while others may be supporting. In our recent blog post you can read more about how disposable gloves can be a large contributing factor to the overarching safety of a business.

You like many of us are probably tired of hearing about the persisting issues with the global supply chain, but sadly this is still a prominent concern for most that will continue throughout the year.

The cost of disposable gloves is currently being impacted by several different factors. From rising oil prices, increased shipping rates, and compromised supply chain issues, distributors will most likely be paying more to source disposable gloves throughout the latter half of the year.

Many headlines throughout this year have been overshadowed by the surging oil and gas prices. This has had a huge impact across the United States, with some states reaching new record highs, over $6 a gallon. The economy is impacted significantly by increased fuel costs, as are most industries: disposable gloves and personal protective equipment included.

Economies around the world are shifting. Supply and demand, market pressures, and political conflicts are driving the prices of oil and gas. Countless industries—and most of us—are feeling the pain, including the disposable glove industry. 

All automotive vehicles require maintenance. Some, however, require a significant amount of upkeep due to their substantial size—this can include steamrollers, tractors, and more. Servicing heavy-duty machines can include a multitude of challenges, from the sheer volume of the maintenance to unique part specifications associated. Ensuring the proper knowledge, tools, and personal protective equipment is crucial. 

Like any other medical professional Emergency Medical Services (EMS) workers go through a lot of rigorous safety and patient training to ensure the best care possible. This also include the proper personal protective equipment training to ensure both the patient and medical personnel are safe. This includes the donning and doffing of barrier clothing like disposable gloves.
