Steven joined local businesses and procurement professionals this week at the Procurement Event at Jarrow Focus.

Steven was invited to take part in a panel discussion about procurement, supporting local suppliers and the role of social value.
He also exhibited Manosun safety gloves, giving attendees the chance to see our products and talk about the work behind them.

The event brought together organisations from across the area to share ideas and explore how procurement can support local businesses and communities.

Huge well done to barbara Tennet and colleagues for arranging a brilliant event and everyone who took the time to speak with Steven.

When someone removes a glove to finish the job, the removal is not the only thing to investigate.

They may need more feel for a small component. The glove may have lost grip, become hot or wet, fit badly or make a particular movement awkward. Some workers cut away fingertips, double up or keep different pairs nearby for different parts of the task.

Instruction and supervision matter, but so does asking a straightforward question: what is the worker trying to do that the current glove makes difficult?

Glove removal should be treated as useful evidence during an assessment. It can reveal a mismatch between the product, the task and the working conditions.

The people doing the job often know exactly where the problem starts.
They need to be part of the trial, not asked for an opinion after the purchasing decision has already been made.

Ask your team where and when gloves are removed, changed or altered. The answer may give you the starting point for a better trial.

How many gloves are discarded because they are genuinely worn out - and how many are replaced for another reason?

Too dirty. Wet inside. Lost grip. Torn at one contact point. Wrong size. Removed and misplaced. Contaminated by moving between tasks.

A simple one-week disposal audit can reveal where selection, issue or work practice needs attention.
It can also give sustainability claims some real operational substance.

Count the pairs, record the task and note the reason for replacement.

The pattern is often more useful than the total.

The best glove trials are not complicated, but they are organised.

Define the task.
Record the current problem.
Choose suitable wearers.
Agree what success looks like.
Trial for a realistic period.
Capture feedback in the same way.
Compare wear and replacement.

Without that structure, the loudest opinion can decide the outcome.
With it, procurement, HSE and the workforce can look at the same evidence.

The result is a glove decision based on the job rather than habit, price or whoever spoke last.

'Do you like this glove?' gives you an opinion.

Better questions give you evidence.

Can you complete the task without removing it?
Where do you feel pressure or restriction?
How does the grip change during use?
Which movement is easier or harder?
Where does the glove show wear first?

Workers know the task in a way no product sheet can.

Their feedback is strongest when it is tied to specific movements, conditions and outcomes.

Consult the wearer - then make the feedback useful.

Choosing the highest protection level available can feel like the safest decision. It is not always the most suitable one.

Extra bulk may reduce grip, dexterity or comfort. That can change worker behaviour and make the glove less likely to stay on. The correct decision is based on the assessed hazard and the demands of the task, not a race to the biggest number.

Protection has to be sufficient, but it also has to be usable.

A well-run trial helps find that balance before a full order is placed.

A construction site may have one PPE policy, but it does not have one hand hazard.

Cutting, lifting, fixing, wet handling, plant maintenance and material movement all place different demands on the hands. Even where the required protection level appears similar, grip, fit, cuff design and dexterity can change whether the glove is kept on and used properly.

UK Construction Week is a good time to ask a better question than 'Which glove do we buy?'

Ask: which task are we trying to control, in which conditions, for which workers?

That is where a sensible glove selection process begins.

The glove may be right for the main task and wrong for what happens immediately before or after it.

A worker moves from handling oily parts to inspection. From outdoor unloading to indoor assembly. From a sharp component to a touchscreen or paperwork.

Those handovers are where gloves are often removed, reused, contaminated or carried into another process.

A workplace assessment should follow the flow of work, not stop at the edge of one workstation.

Sometimes the problem is not the glove for Task A or Task B. It is the transition between them.
