3 CONFIDENTLY HANDLING THE CHALLENGES YOU FACE EVERY DAY The professionally manufactured gloves in the Globus portfolio are designed to meet the rigorous requirements of the oil, gas and petrochemical industry. Each glove is constructed to enhance the wearer s performance, allowing maximum dexterity and to protect in the harshest of conditions. Workers in the oil, gas and petrochemical industry are exposed to a multitude of hazards on a daily basis, including blunt force impacts, abrasions, cuts and chemical burns. Despite the hazards, many trades are also constantly challenged to achieve reliable grip performance in wet and oily handling conditions. Hand protection solutions from Globus can have a widespread effect on an employee s performance as well as their safety. With the correct gloves being worn for the task and for the worker, hands are more likely to be correctly protected for entire shifts, thus boosting productivity and morale too. CHEMICALS The potential risks to employees who are exposed to chemicals, even briefly, are vast. The skin can be greatly damaged by chemicals and wearing gloves is the only barrier that can prevent hazardous contact. Chemical hazards are prevalent to workers on drilling platforms when drawing mud, oil and benzenes from the sea bed as well as in refineries. Experts from Globus can advise regarding glove suitability for specific chemicals. IMPACTS, CRUSHES AND PINCHES Injuries from impacts form the majority of hand injuries to workers in the industry. Gloves featuring directly-injected Thermo Plastic Rubber (TPR) help protect the fingers, thumb, back of hand and knuckles. TPR zones are critical in helping the user to free their hand from the glove if involved in an incident involving impact. THE ELEMENTS Industry workers can face extremely harsh and changeable weather conditions which can significantly impact the risk to the individual as well as the site. Insulated liners are crucial for preserving dexterity and sensation to the hand and fingers in cold conditions. Advanced waterproof coatings repel rain and liquids, whilst innovative breathable membranes situated beneath the impermeable coating allow perspiration and warm air to escape at the same time. OIL GRIP Good glove grip is essential to provide the wearer with proper control over his or her working environment and help prevent serious injury. Gloves featuring the latest high-tech coatings provide resistance to petrochemicals and contain efficient absorbency properties allowing greasy objects to be lifted, carried or assembled with confidence. Inadequate grip can motivate hand fatigue and also promote musculo-skeletal injuries as well as dermatological issues. SINGLE USE DURABLE PROTECTION Versatile nitrile disposable gloves provide a strong barrier of protection against many petrochemicals. They are ideal for workers with a latex sensitivity and mould to the shape of the hand ensuring a secure and comfortable fit. Single use nitrile gloves are up to four times more puncture resistant than standard latex alternatives and can also be worn under other work gloves to bolster protection against liquids. CUTS AND ABRASION Cut hazards can lead to severe abrasions and lacerations to hands. Kevlar and engineered composite yarns containing steel are woven into gloves to add resistance and perform in heavy duty environments. Tests have demonstrated that gloves made with Dyneema have up to twenty times better abrasion resistance than gloves made with Aramid yarns. Matching the appropriate level of cut protection to the hazard is crucial to maintain performance. VISIBILITY Gloves featuring hi-viz properties help to draw attention and distinguish the wearer from his or her immediate environment. Not only can this enhance safety, it can also make hand signalling more efficient over distance. Kevlar is a registered trademark of E.I.du Pont de Nemours and Company.

16 DIRECTIVES A GREATER COMMITMENT TO HEALTH AND SAFETY EN STANDARDS FOR HAND PROTECTION The Single European Act includes a specific pledge to improve health and safety at work for all European workers. The commitment to level up to the best practice currently employed within the Union has been enshrined in a legally binding Framework Directive (89/391/EEC), which not only lays down broad guidelines for health and safety but also places upon the employer an absolute duty to ensure the safety and health of employees in their workplace. This directive is amplified by five daughter directives, of which one directly governs the use of protective gloves. The Use of Personal Protective Equipment Directive 89/656/ EEC Four articles of the Directive merit particular attention, as they place substantial responsibilities on employers: ARTICLE 3 states that before selecting any PPE, a basic assessment must be made to identify and evaluate the risk. Where possible, the risk must be reduced or eliminated by a modification of workplace practice. This option is always to be preferred to the use of PPE. Under ARTICLE 4, the employer must inform his workers of the risks in the workplace, supply appropriate and correctly fitting PPE which complies with EU standards, and give adequate instruction in its use. He should further ensure that the PPE is used only for the purpose intended by the manufacturer, and in accordance with the manufacturer s instructions. ARTICLE 5 requires the employer to: 1. Audit workplace hazards and assess the level of risk to employees. 2. Define the properties necessary in the gloves to protect the employees. 3. Ensure that all gloves used in the workplace conform to the PPE Directive and relevant EN standards. 4. Compare the merits of the various types of protection available. 5. Keep full records of assessments and reasons for selecting a particular type of glove. If the risk should alter in any way, for instance by the introduction of a new chemical or industrial process, the assessment must be repeated. Finally, ARTICLE 6 requires Member States to introduce written rules for workplace situations in which the use of PPE shall be considered compulsory. Naturally, employers will have to be aware of and comply with these rules. To comply with the new regulations, you must select gloves which not only adhere to the above Directive and relevant safety standards, but also are demonstrably of good quality and fittest for the intended task. COMPLYING WITH THE PPE DIRECTIVE: 89/686/EEC The Directive specifies two classes of glove meeting two levels of risk: Minimal and mortal or irreversible risk. A risk which falls between these two levels may be described as intermediate. To comply with the 89/656/EEC Directive, you must establish the level of risk and select gloves of the appropriate class. A system of marking has been developed to help you in that selection. Gloves of simple design - for minimal risk only For gloves of simple design offering protection from low level risks, e.g. janitorial gloves, manufacturers are permitted to test and certify gloves themselves. Gloves of this category are CE-marked as follows: Gloves of intermediate design - for intermediate risk Gloves designed to protect against intermediate risk, e.g. general handling gloves requiring good cut, puncture and abrasion performance, must be subjected to independent testing and certification by a Notified Body. Only these approved Bodies may issue a CE mark, without which the gloves may not be sold. Each Notified Body has its own identification number. The name and address of the Notified Body that certifies the product has to appear on the instructions for use that will accompany the gloves. Gloves of intermediate design are CE-marked as follows: Gloves of complex design - for irreversible or mortal risk Gloves designed to protect against the highest levels of risk e.g. chemicals, must also be tested and certified by a Notified Body. In addition, the quality assurance system used by the manufacturer to guarantee homogeneity of production must be independently checked. The Body carrying out this evaluation will be identified by a number which must appear alongside the CE mark (in this case, 0120). Gloves of complex design are CE-marked as follows: 0120 Please note that the original PPE Directive 89/686/EEC has been amended by both the 93/95/EEC Directive and the CE Marking Directives 93/68/EEC and 95/58 EEC. RAISING STANDARDS IN EUROPE The primary aim of the Personal Protective Equipment Directive is to improve safety at work. This is achieved by establishing standards for manufacture and use that will apply throughout the Union; and this is the remit of the Committee for European Normalisation (CEN). The committee is made up of representatives of the national standards organisations in each of the Member States plus EFTA, along with major European PPE manufacturers. If you would like any further clarification of these Directives, or further information on testing and certification procedures, please contact our Technical Service. CE INFORMATION The Personal Protective Equipment Directives (89/686/CEE) and (93/68/CEE) have been enacted by the European Community to ensure harmonisation of regulations regarding testing of all PPE sold within the community. All gloves of intermediate and complex design must now be tested independently to ascertain their performance and ensure their safety. They must, if they meet these standards, carry a CE Mark on the gloves, or on their packaging when this is not practical. Glove designation The CE mark Identification of manufacturer SKYTEC NINJA LITE 9/L 98/0120 CATEGORISATION Under the terms of the above directive, gloves fall into the following three categories: CAT I - Simple Design For minimal risks only. Suitable only for low risk applications where hazards can be identified by the wearer in time to deal with them. - Intermediate Design Reversible risks. Products are type examined by an approved body where they examine the manufacturers technical specifications and conduct tests for the relevant standards to ascertain their conformity and/or performance. I - Complex Design For protection against mortal danger or risks of irreversible harm. Products are type examined by an approved body as for category II. In addition, the products and manufacturer are subject to EC quality control according to an approved quality system. CHEMICAL RESISTANCE PERMEATION Size Approved body number In compliance with EN374 Standard, the breakthrough time is given as a permeation index according to the following table: The breakthrough time (in minutes) of a chemical through the glove is measured in conditions simulating a total immersion of the glove in the chemical at 23 C. The gloves scoring the highest index have the best resistance to permeation. Index 0 denotes breakthrough time is less than 10 minutes. Breakthrough time higher than (in minutes) Permeation index EUROPEAN STANDARDS (ENs) GENERAL REQUIREMENTS EN420 Defines the general requirements for most types of protective gloves including: Design and construction Suitability for purpose Sizing Comfort and efficiency Innocuousness a b c d MECHANICAL HAZARDS EN388 Resistance to abrasion Blade cut resistance Tear resistance Puncture resistance THERMAL (HEAT) HAZARDS EN407 a b c d e f Resistance to flamability Contact heat resistance Convective heat resistance Radiant heat resistance Resistance to small molten metal splash Resistance to large molten metal splash ANTI-STATIC New EN1149 standard No pictogram is to be shown CHEMICAL AND MICRO-ORGANISMS EN374 EN374-2 Resistance to penetration by micro-organisms.

17 EN420 STANDARD EN 420: 2003 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PROTECTIVE GLOVES EN388 / EN421 STANDARD EN 388: 2003 GLOVES GIVING PROTECTION FROM MECHANICAL RISKS SCOPE This standard defines the general requirements for glove design and construction, innocuousness, comfort, efficiency, marking and information applicable to all protective gloves. This standard can also apply to arm guards. The key points are given below. Some gloves designed for very specialist applications, such as electrician s or surgical gloves are governed by other stringent job-specific standards (Details are available on request). DEFINITION A glove is an item of personal protective equipment which protects the hand or any part of the hand from hazards. It may also cover part of the forearm and arm. A performance level is a number (between 0 and 4) which shows how a glove has performed in a specific test, and by which the results of that testing may be graded. Level 0 indicates that the glove is either untested or falls below the minimum performance level. A performance level X means that the testing method is not suitable for the glove sample. Higher numbers indicate higher levels of performance. GLOVE CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN Gloves have to offer the greatest degree of protection in the foreseeable conditions of end use. When seams are included, the strength of these seams should not reduce the overall performance of the glove. INNOCUOUSNESS The gloves themselves shouldn t cause any harm to the user PH of the glove should be between 3.5 and 9.5 Chromium (VI) content should be below detection (<10 ppm) Natural rubber gloves shall be tested on extractable proteins as per EN CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS If care instructions are provided, the levels of performance should not be reduced after the maximum recommended number of cleaning cycles. ELECTROSTATIC PROPERTIES Anti-static gloves that are designed to reduce the risk of electrostatic discharges shall be tested as per EN 1149 Obtained test values are to be reported on the Instructions for Use An electrostatic pictogram shall NOT be used SIZING (SEE TABLE BELOW) Gloves that are below the minimum length are to be called Fit for Special Purpose. SIZING OF GLOVES DEXTERITY If required, performance to be graded as per table at the foot of the page. WATER VAPOUR TRANSMISSION AND ABSORPTION If required, gloves shall allow water vapour transmission (5mg cm2.h) If gloves exclude water vapour transmission, it should be at least 8mg/cm2 for 8 hours. MARKING & INFORMATION: Marking of the glove Each glove should be marked with: - Name of manufacturer - Glove and size designation - CE mark - Appropriate pictograms accompanied by the relevant performance levels and the reference of the EN standard. The marking should be legible throughout the life of the glove. Where marking of the glove is not possible in view of the characteristics of the glove, it should be mentioned on the first packaging enclosure. Marking of the packaging immediately containing the gloves Name and address of the manufacturer or representative Glove and size designation CE mark Usage info - Simple design: for minimal risks only - Intermediate design or complex design: relevant pictograms - When protection is limited to part of the hand, this shall be mentioned (e.g. Palm Protection style only ) Reference to where information can be obtained Instructions for Use (To be supplied when the glove is placed on the market) Name and address of the manufacturer or representative Glove designation Size range available CE mark Care and storage instruction Instructions and limitations of use A list of substances used in the glove which are known to cause allergies A list of all substances in the glove shall be made available upon request Name and address of Notified Body that certified the product Glove size Fits hand size Hand circumference/length (mm) Minimum length of the glove (mm) / / / / / / SCOPE This standard applies to all kinds of protective gloves in respect of physical and mechanical aggressions caused by abrasion, blade cut, puncture and tearing. DEFINITION AND REQUIREMENTS Protection against mechanical hazards is expressed by a pictogram followed by four numbers (performance levels), each representing test performance against a specific hazard. EN388 TEST PERFORMANCE LEVEL RATING: STANDARD EN 421: 1994 GLOVES GIVING PROTECTION FROM RADIOACTIVE CONTAMINATION AND IONISING RADIATION SCOPE This standard applies to gloves to protect from Ionising Radiation andradioactive Contamination. DEFINITION AND REQUIREMENTS The nature of protection is shown by a pictogram relating to the specific protective qualities. To protect from radioactive contamination, the glove has to be liquidproof and needs to pass the penetration test defined in EN 374. a b c d The Mechanical Risks pictogram is accompanied by a 4-digit code: a. Resistance to abrasion Based on the number of cycles required to abrade through the sample given. b. Blade cut resistance Based on the number of cycles required to cut through the sample at a constant speed. c. Tear resistance Based on the amount of force required to tear the sample. d. Puncture resistance Based on the amount of force required to pierce the sample with a standard sized point. In all cases, (0) indicates the lowest level of performance, as follows: a. Abrasion resistance (cycles) < b. Blade cut resistance (factor) < c. Tear resistance (newton) < d. Puncture resistance (newton) < These performance levels must be prominently displayed alongside the pictogram on the packaging which immediately contains the gloves. For gloves used in containment enclosures, the glove shall offer high resistance to permeability of water vapour. To protect from ionising radiation, the glove has to contain a certain amount of lead, quoted as lead equivalence. This Lead Equivalence must be marked on each glove. Materials exposed to ionising radiation may be modelled by their behaviour to ozone cracking. This test is optional and can be used as an aid to selecting gloves which require resistance to ionising radiation. Performance level Smallest diameter of pin that can be picked up with gloved hand 3 times/30 seconds (mm)

18 EN407 / EN511 STANDARD EN 407: 2004 GLOVES GIVING PROTECTION FROM THERMAL HAZARDS EN374 STANDARD EN 374: 2003 GLOVES GIVING PROTECTION FROM CHEMICALS AND MICRO-ORGANISMS SCOPE This standard specifies thermal performance for protective gloves against heat and/or fire. DEFINITION AND REQUIREMENTS The nature and degree of protection is shown by a pictogram followed by a series of six performance levels, relating to specific protective qualities. Gloves must also achieve at least Performance level 1 for abrasion and tear. The heat and flame pictogram is accompanied by a 6-digit number: a b c d e f a. Resistance to flammability (performance level ) Based on the length of time the material continues to burn and glow after the source of ignition is removed. The seams of the glove shall not come apart after an ignition time of 15 seconds. b. Contact heat resistance (performance level ) Based on the temperature range ( o C) at which the user will feel no pain for at least 15 seconds. If an EN level 3 or higher is obtained, the product shall record at least EN level 3 in the flammability test. Otherwise, the maximum contact heat level shall be reported as level 2. STANDARD EN 511: 1994 GLOVES GIVING PROTECTION FROM COLD SCOPE This standard applies to any gloves to protect the hands against convective and contact cold down to -50 o C. DEFINITION AND REQUIREMENTS Protection against cold is expressed by a pictogram followed by a series of 3 performance levels, relating to specific protective qualities. The cold hazard pictogram is accompanied by a 3-digit number: a. Resistance to convective cold (performance level 0-4) b. Resistance to contact cold (performance level 0-4) c. Permeability by water (0 or 1) A B C c. Convective heat resistance (performance level ) Based on the length of time the glove is able to delay the transfer of heat from a flame. A performance level shall only be mentioned if a performance level of 3 or 4 is obtained in the flammability test. d. Radiant heat resistance (performance level ) Based on the length of time the glove is able to delay the transfer of heat when exposed to a radiant heat source. A performance level shall only be mentioned if a performance level 3 or 4 is obtained in the flammability test. e. Resistance to small splashes of molten metal (performance level ) The number of molten metal drops required to heat the glove sample to a given level. A performance level shall only be mentioned if a performance level 3 or 4 is obtained in the flammability test. f. Resistance to large splashes of molten metal (performance level ) The weight of molten metal required to cause smoothing or pinholing across a simulated skin placed directly behind the glove sample. The test is failed if metal droplets remain stuck to the glove material or if the specimen ignites. All gloves must achieve at least EN388 performance level 1 for abrasion and tear. Convective cold resistance: based on the thermal insulation properties of the glove which are obtained by measuring the transfer of cold via convection. Contact cold resistance: based on the thermal resistance of the glove material when exposed to contact with a cold object. Water impermeability: 0 = water penetration after 30 minutes of exposure 1 = no water penetration. SCOPE This standard specifies the capability of gloves to protect the user against chemicals and/or micro-organisms. DEFINITIONS: Penetration The movement of a chemical and/or micro-organism through porous materials, seam, pinholes or other imperfections in a protective glove material at a non-molecular level. Permeation The rubber and plastic films in gloves do not always act as The Chemical resistant glove pictogram must be accompanied by a 3-digit code. This code refers to 3 chemicals (from a list of 12 standard defined chemicals) for which a breakthrough time of at least 30 minutes has been obtained. Permeation: Each chemical tested is classified in terms of breakthrough time (performance level 0 to 6): barriers to liquids. Sometimes they can act as sponges, soaking up the liquids and holding them against the skin. It is therefore necessary to measure breakthrough times, or the time taken for the hazardous liquid to come in contact with the skin. REQUIREMENTS The minimum liquid proof section of the glove shall be at least equal to the minimum length of the glove specified in EN 420. Penetration: A glove shall not leak when tested to an air and/o water leak test, and shall be tested and inspected in compliance with the Acceptable Quality Level. AQL: Performance level Acceptable quality level unit Inspection levels Level 3 < 0.65 G1 Level 2 < 1.5 G1 Level 1 < 4.0 S4 Code Chemical CAS Number Class A Methanol Primary alcohol B Acetone Ketone C Acetonitrile Nitrile compound D Dichloromethane Chlorinated paraffin E Carbone disulphide Sulphur containing Organic compound F Toluene Aromatic hydrocarbon G Diethylamine Amine H Tetrahydrofurane Heterocyclic and Ether compound I Ethyl acetate Ether J N-Heptane Saturated Hydrocarbon K Sodium hydroxide 40% Inorganic base L Sulphuric acid 96% Inorganic mineral acid Measured breakthrough time Protection Index Measured breakthrough time Protection Index > 10 minutes Class 1 > 120 minutes Class 4 > 30 minutes Class 2 > 240 minutes Class 5 > 60 minutes Class 3 > 480 minutes Class 6 A B C The Low Chemical resistant or Waterproof glove pictogram is to be used for those gloves that do not achieve a breakthrough time of at least 30 minutes against at least three chemicals from the defined list, but which comply with the Penetration test. The Micro-organism pictogram is to be used when the glove conforms to at least a performance level 2 for the Penetration test.
