2 We started a journey more than a decade ago. A group of hardworking people with a new technology that no one had ever seen. One that had the potential to change the way people viewed safety gloves. One that could change the lives of workers across the world. We started with one industry and one glove. We changed, altered, tested, and trialed until we began eliminating hand injuries for a few large companies. Eliminated as in zero none. That s when we knew we were changing the landscape of safety forever. We grew and expanded from hand protection to arm, leg, and body protection solving century-old safety problems. We did this by working side-by-side with our customers, creating solutions where others couldn t. When our customers started asking how we could solve other safety problems, we began to seek an innovative partner who shares our values, leads the market globally, and has changed the safety industry in the same way we changed hand, arm, and body protection. Today we re proud to say we ve achieved just that. With the help of an innovative German PPE partner a global leader with over 90 years experience HexArmor is expanding our PPE portfolio to immediately include safety eyewear. This joint venture has allowed us to combine resources and address unsolved issues in safety eyewear through manufacturing, engineering, design, and technical expertise, creating the most advanced line of safety eyewear in the industry. Eyewear is just the beginning of what s to come in a long line of PPE advancements from HexArmor. We look forward to continuing working alongside you, our customers, and bringing you groundbreaking PPE solutions that give workers the protection they deserve. Because in the end, we aren t just PPE. We re the confidence, safety, and livelihood of those we protect. 2 HexArmor Oil&Gas

5 Wearability: The Key to Compliance HexArmor safety eyewear was developed as a natural extension of our core mission: to send every worker home safe, every day. To accomplish this, we knew the safety eyewear we designed and manufactured needed to be a product workers would want to wear PPE that wouldn t get in the way because we all know the safest PPE is the PPE that s worn. The best way to ensure that eyewear is being worn? Create a product centered on Wearability which is the key to compliance. At HexArmor, safety eyewear Wearability is comprised of three main factors: Lens Technology The part of eyewear that gets little attention (but can have a significant impact) is the lenses. Proprietary LTX Lens Technology by HexArmor provides uncompromised optical clarity. This, combined with maximum impact resistance, makes our HexArmor lenses top class. Coatings Technology Not all lens coatings are the same. Typical dip coatings don t allow the flexibility of anti-fog and scratch-resistance to be applied on different sides of the lens. The flow-coating technique used by HexArmor allows this flexibility and outlasts all other eyewear on the market. Fit Architecture We take fit very seriously. Properly-fitting eyewear gives wearers confidence. It protects from dust and debris, is free of pressure points, is lightweight, and doesn t slip. The right eyewear looks and feels good and is easily compatible with other PPE. Proper protection with no side effects, this is Wearability. The result? Compliance. Call MY.ARMOR or visit 5

6 Coatings Hydrophobic vs. Hydrophilic For fundamentally different coatings that outperform anything on the market while maintaining their performance over time, HexArmor s chemically engineered anti-fog technology absorbs moisture droplets as they hit the lens, eliminating fog. This moisture absorbing process is known as hydrophilic and is found in all HexArmor s anti-fog coatings. Taking this process one step further, HexArmor uses specialized dualaction hydrophilic coatings for extreme applications that cause moisture to spread on the lens and then absorb, eliminating fog permanently. With hydrophilic coatings, moisture is absorbed into the coating, eliminating fog. Traditional coatings in the safety eyewear market use hydrophobic technology. This technology causes moisture to spread as it hits the lens, eliminating fog. Although effective for a short period, hydrophobic anti-fog coatings are detergent based and wash off over time. This type of shortterm fog protection leads to compliance issues and eyewear being treated as disposable. Cleanability: HexArmor vs. Competitors HexArmor s permanent anti-fog coatings outperform even the highestperforming competitors and ensure that the anti-fog properties of the lenses stay true to their nature, surpassing the ANSI anti-fog standard for the lifetime of the eyewear. With hydrophobic coatings, moisture spreads across the lens, eliminating fog. 60 HexArmor TruShield Seconds to Fog Bollé Platinum Uvex HydroShield 3M ScotchGuard Anti-Fog HexArmor TruShield 2F 0 Initial State *One wash is equal to cleaning by thumb with rotary movement and medium pressure under running warm water for five seconds. Number of Washes* 6 HexArmor Oil&Gas

7 Flow-Coating Flow-coating is profoundly different than traditional dip-coating methods used by other safety eyewear brands. Dip-coating applies an identical coating to both sides of the lens and can sacrifice the quality of one protective property over the other. Traditional dip coatings can either be scratch-resistant or anti-fog. The combination of the two compromises the performance of each. Flow-coating technology has allowed HexArmor to pioneer four completely new coating combinations in the Americas that include permanent anti-fog on the interior of the lens and either a scratch-resistant hard coat or permanent anti-fog on the exterior of the lens. This specialized dual-coating process is exclusive to HexArmor and is a first for the PPE eyewear industry in the Americas.

16 IL & GAS Applications The Hazardous World Of Oil and Gas Whether it s wrenching on a valve head, tripping pipe, handling heavy tools, lifting cable reels, tightening bolts, operating machinery, doing scaffolding work, or maintaining and repairing equipment, workers hands are exposed to a variety of cut, puncture, abrasion, and (especially) impact hazards. There are three main categories of hazards that a safety manager must address with regard to hand protection: smash injuries, cuts and punctures, and grip issues. Impact Injuries: A Common Occurrence Companies are increasingly aware of the need for outfitting their workers with impact protection. Smashes, pinches, and contusions are a leading cause of hand injuries in oil and gas applications. As a result, more and more hand safety mandates include impact protection as a minimum requirement for most jobs. Roughly 50% of Hand Injuries Are Cuts and Punctures Cut and puncture injuries can account for up to 50% of hand injuries in the petroleum industry. Hand protection needs to offer cut resistance, impact protection, and a high level of comfort/ dexterity in order to provide truly satisfactory protection for workers. Most Lacerations Start Out as a Puncture If your cut resistant gloves don t provide adequate puncture resistance, then they provide little protection against laceration injuries. Often, a laceration is caused by a pointed hazard poking through a glove, and then tearing across the skin to create a laceration. HexArmor gloves made with SuperFabric provide industrial puncture protection to keep hands safe. Grip: A Constant Challenge Because working on an oil rig or drill site often involves lubricants, oils, muds, and other fluids, grip is a constant issue for workers. Maintaining good grip is important, because if a worker s grip is compromised, they re more susceptible to hand fatigue, strains, and injuries caused by dropped tools. 16 HexArmor Oil&Gas

17 and Hazards I am extremely proud of my HSE team. They are dedicated to making a difference and developing a zero-injury culture. We will succeed. HexArmor is the only manufacturer that meets our company s Canadian PPE Plan for documented cut, puncture, and abrasion requirements. No other manufacturer has any documentation. So as it stands, HexArmor is the only impact resistant glove that is currently used in our Canadian PPE plan. Ken K., HSE Manager Call MY.ARMOR or visit 17

18 Impact Protection Smash Injuries: An All Too Common Occurrence Handling heavy tools and materials is a fact of life for many workers in the petroleum industry. Consequently, painful smash injuries which can be serious are a frequent occurrence. Oil companies have made an effort to address this problem by including impact protection in their hand safety standards. Competitive Impact Protection Not All Impact Gloves Are Created Equal In recent years, impact gloves have flooded the PPE market. While some believe these are interchangeable, the truth is not all impact gloves are created equal. They offer varying levels of comfort, dexterity, and most importantly protection. HexArmor s proprietary IR-X technology shields gloves with a full back-of-hand Impact Exoskeleton, so every joint and knuckle is protected. Gloves with HexArmor IR-X impact protection have been proven to reduce and even eliminate smash injuries on the worksite. HexArmor s proprietary IR-X impact technology is proven to dissipate the force of sudden impact, smash, and pinch hazards. HexArmor has instituted testing using a load cell sensor. This tests both the amount of force transferred through the impact protection to the hand while wearing a glove and the amount of time the force is felt. We have found strong evidence that our impact protection minimizes the amount of force felt through the glove, as well as lengthening the amount of time force is transferred. Together, these two factors help diminish or eliminate possible impact injuries. This testing, along with our high-flex design, is what makes it possible for our IR-X Impact Exoskeleton to deliver more comfort, more protection, and more dexterity than any other impact glove on the market. HexArmor IR-X Impact Guards Traditional Impact Guards Glove Shell Hand Bone HexArmor IR-X Glove Shell Hand Bone Pressure Sensitive Film Impact Testing More intense color indicates more force transferred through the impact guards. HexArmor GGT5 Series Impact Metacarpal Profile RINGER ROUGHNECK Impact Metacarpal Profile In-House Impact Test Using Pressure Sensitive Film In addition to the ASTM resiliency tests, HexArmor performs thorough field studies and in-house impact testing to validate protection levels. One of these lab tests uses pressure sensitive film (PSF) to measure the amount of force transferred through a glove s impact guard in the event of a sudden blow. PSF is a highly-sensitive and extremely thin film that reacts to pressure by creating a high resolution topographical image of impact distribution and magnitude across the contact area. For this in-house test, the pressure sensitive film is placed under impact guards, and a hammer is dropped to simulate a worksite smash incident. After impact, the film is removed and scanned through specialized software to reveal the pressure distribution profile. The more intense the color, the more force was transferred through the impact guard. In the real world, this translates to a more severe potential injury. PSF results are highly accurate. In fact, the U.S. Army uses the system for designing their soldiers vests and body armor. This is just one of the ways HexArmor continues to be a leader in technology and innovation, redefining standards of safety in the industrial sector. 18 HexArmor Oil&Gas

19 Cut and Puncture Resistance Most Lacerations Begin As A Puncture Cut protection isn t complete without puncture protection. The materials commonly found in cut-resistant safety gloves blends of yarns such as Kevlar or Dyneema provide some level of protection from straightedged hazards. However, they don t offer sufficient protection from variable hazards such as metal burrs, wires, or slivers commonly found in oil and gas production environments. not a HexArmor Glove Standard Synthetic Leather Gloves When a sharp corner, burr, wire wicker or, other protruding hazard comes into contact with the hand, it can penetrate the glove and scrape or cut the skin. With high-performance fiber knit gloves, the hazard will poke through the knit shell of the glove and tear laterally to create a laceration. Gloves that have cut resistance often lack the puncture protection needed to stop lacerations. Outer Shell Cut Injury Skin Surface HexArmor with SuperFabric Synthetic Leather Gloves Outer Shell Plates Skin Surface HexArmor with SuperFabric Synthetic Leather Gloves HexArmor oil and gas safety gloves are proven to protect against cuts and punctures. We test our gloves both in the lab and out in the field to validate their performance. Our data shows that HexArmor gloves deliver the highest degree of puncture and cut resistance performance.

20 A GRIP for Any Task TP-X TP-X is a palm material that works well in oils and fluids because the surface does not absorb wetness, helping to maintain grip. Best for light to medium oily or wet conditions. Provides more abrasion resistance than synthetic leather, and some industrial puncture resistance. TP-X+ TP-X+ is a robust, heavy-duty material that provides additional cut, puncture, and abrasion resistance and improved grip. The raised texture creates channels or grooves in the material, so it has enhanced grip over time. Also provides additional resistance to heat. HexArmor Mud Grip Synthetic leather palm with PVC dots. The surface wicks away lubricant, allowing PVC dots to create friction and improve grip on metal tools. Good grip in the wet conditions sometimes found in certain mining processes. Excellent dry grip for general tasks. Silicone Grip Durable synthetic leather palm with heat-resistant hi-vis silicone pattern delivers maximum grip and dexterity. Best for regular or wet conditions. Provides more abrasion resistance than synthetic leather. Gator Grip Technology A highly specialized SuperFabric * brand material palm with PVC dots. The SuperFabric guard plates bite through and channel away lubricants, creating a snow tire effect that allows the user to grip oily or lubricated parts and tools. The PVC dots provide added friction for a tacky grip. Synthetic Leather Our synthetic leather is the highest quality, so it s extremely abrasionresistant and durable and lasts longer than other gloves. Some products combine the synthetic leather with PVC print for enhanced grip capabilities. Mining companies and contractors have used this grip successfully for general facility and maintenance applications. 20 HexArmor Oil&Gas

21 Palm Coating Dips Wrinkle Rubber Latex Wrinkle rubber latex is a flexible, non-porous palm dip that provides excellent dry grip. It offers good wet grip, but is not recommended for use with hydrocarbon and organic solvents such as gasoline as these can cause premature degradation. This polymer may cause allergic reactions in some people. PVC/Nitrile Premium PVC nitrile blend is often used in gloves designed for liquid and certain chemical resistance. It is an effective barrier against water and most watery solutions, such as detergents or diluted acids. Because PVC is 100% synthetic, it contains no latex proteins and is hypo-allergenic. Sandy Nitrile Sandy nitrile provides a good dry and wet grip. It is lightweight, providing excellent dexterity. It also adds a high level of abrasion resistance. A good choice for incidental contact with unknown substances such as solvents, chemicals, oils, etc. Micro Nitrile Micro nitrile provides good oil grip because of its thin, slightly tacky coating. Oils are channeled away from the surface of the tool, allowing for more contact with the surface area, which substantially improves grip. Polyurethane Polyurethane (PU) provides excellent dry grip that offers a balance between being tacky but not too sticky. It s a lightweight dip, helping gloves maintain a high level of dexterity and tactile sensitivity. As such, PU is good for handling small parts. Call MY.ARMOR or visit 21

Finding Impact Gloves Workers WANT TO WEAR When a customer agreement mandated impact protection for certain tasks, some workers at the company s Alberta sites had to trade in the standard leather gloves they d worn for years. Leather gloves offer high-dexterity, so they re comfortable to wear and are well-suited for tasks that don t expose workers to smash or pinch hazards. But for some jobs, impact protection is necessary. The Safety Manager and his team began the process of finding a glove option that would help prevent impact injuries that workers would be willing to wear. They trialed glove after glove, but nothing was a good fit. Most were not user-friendly. Some gloves were too stiff. Others lacked sufficient protection. Some gloves would fall apart after a day or two of use. Then they found the Rig Lizard by HexArmor. Rig Lizard by HexArmor is the PERFECT FIT. With everything else we tried, maybe 40% of the guys would like one glove, and 30% preferred another, said the Safety Manager. But when we started using the HexArmor gloves, 98% of the guys gave positive feedback. More and more workers were actually wearing their HexArmor gloves, whereas in the past they had seen lower compliance. Before, you used to go on location and see maybe one pair of impact gloves, and the rest would be leather. Since switching to HexArmor, we re seeing all impact gloves and a couple of leathers. It changed everything. Call MY.ARMOR or visit 29

32 Case Study Preventing Steel Shim Cut Injuries Maintenance Worker Sustains Multiple Injuries Working With Shims While a slotted shim is a common, helpful tool for maintenance workers in oil refineries, the shim s handy tab and corners can become sharp hazards that can cause serious injury. The often paper-thin stainless steel shims can be razor sharp and are easily capable of slicing through ordinary leather maintenance gloves, Kevlar, or cotton work gloves. HexArmor interviewed a refinery maintenance worker who received several recordable lacerations to his thumb and index finger, as well as smash injuries to his knuckles, while working with steel shims. One recent injury required stitches. Due to the location of the wound, the worker was off the job for two weeks. After these costly incidents, the safety team began looking for a better hand protection solution. HexArmor Provides Needed Protection From Razor-Sharp Shim Edges Following the injury, HexArmor provided the same worker with a pair of Chrome Series 4026 mechanics gloves. While performing routine maintenance using a metal shim, the worker almost received an identical type of cut from the shim that he had suffered before. This time, however, his hand remained uninjured thanks to his Chrome Series glove. While the sharp edge of the shim slashed the exterior synthetic leather covering the finger and palm of the glove, it had no effect on the SuperFabric * material underneath. HexArmor products made with SuperFabric brand material provide industry-leading cut protection. It played a central role in saving this worker s finger. This worker continued to use the same HexArmor gloves for several weeks after the incident stating: They were just as good as ever. *SuperFabric is licensed from HDM, Inc. 32 HexArmor Oil&Gas

54 The Technology Behind Staying Cool We re bringing cool to a whole new level. With this cooling technology, high-performance fabric is moisture activated so that as water evaporates, fast drying microfibers and natural minerals accelerate the cooling process. When the sun s rays reflect off the minerals, thermal energy is thrown away from the body. Workers are cooler faster and for longer. Odor and fiber deterioration won t be an issue with Bact-Out, a proprietary antimicrobial technology that provides resistance and control against 99.9% of bacteria even after 50 washes! ColdRush products also offer 30+ UPF UV protection to help workers stay safe in the sun. How ColdRush Works: Apply water to highperformance material Material absorbs and retains moisture Heat Statistics/Importance of PPE We surveyed 100 workers and found that 93 percent regularly experience heat stress while on the job. According to the CDC, extreme heat causes an average of 658 work and non work-related deaths a year in the United States. If you re working out in the heat, or managing employees in high-heat environments, be sure to take proper precautions, including checking the heat index, setting up effective water and rest breaks, and using high-quality cooling personal protective equipment (PPE).

55 ColdRush with evapora Technology HexArmor evapora fabric technology quickly absorbs moisture up to six times its weight, retains it, and allows it to slowly and naturally evaporate, producing a cooling effect on the skin for hours. Once in contact with the skin, ColdRush continually wicks perspiration away and stores it in microcavity moisture reservoirs, which provide up to four hours of active cooling. When the fabric dries out, simply wetten to reactivate the cooling effect. At the end of the day, throw ColdRush in the washer and reuse.

56 TRIR and Your Bottom Line Your Safety Record Helps You Win (or Lose) Business Companies with a great safety record are companies that win business. The reverse is also true: companies with a poor safety record are not only at risk of losing profitable contracts in the bidding process, but also of losing existing business to competitors with a better safety record. Safety is considered an indication of an organization s efficiency. If your safety record is poor, it s often indicative of other systemic problems, making that company a less attractive partner for doing business. TRIR: The Most Important Safety Metric Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) is a commonly used safety metric that measures the effectiveness of a company s safety measures. Your TRIR is an indication as to whether or not employees are being injured in the workplace. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, TRIR can help determine both problem areas and progress in preventing workplace injuries. This is the key performance indicator companies use to track progress toward a zero injury goal Actual Drilling Contractor-Wide Rolling TRIR (September 2011 August 2012) HexArmor Mandated Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Control Your TRIR and Win More Business HexArmor has worked with some of the leading companies in the oil and gas industry and has a solid track record of helping these companies lower their TRIR.

57 Workplace Injuries Indirect Costs Of An Injury The direct costs associated with a recordable incident are fairly well understood. They include medical costs, worker s comp, and other insurance premiums. But when one of your workers suffers an on-the-job injury, it is the indirect costs that account for the majority of an accident s economic impact. These can be up to 10x more than the direct costs. Types of Indirect Costs: Time-Related Costs These go well beyond the obvious and include more than just the injured party and his or her direct supervisor. Examples: Overtime costs necessitated by the injury. Administrative time spent by supervisors, safety personnel, and clerical workers after an injury. Time spent investigating and reporting the accident. Time to assist in production and address production problems and time spent training replacement workers. Productivity Costs Labor productivity relates output to the labor hours used in the production of that output. Frequently the biggest indirect cost of an injury, productivity costs can be 7.5 times or more than the total direct costs of the incident. Examples: Actual lost production by the worker, those assisting, and onlookers. Reduced productivity from injured worker upon return and lower output from a replacement worker until they are fully trained. Material/Equipment Damages This category is somewhat obvious, but often overlooked. Examples: Replacing or repairing damaged equipment. Renting equipment to limit downtime, if needed. Material damages are important, as they represent lost potential sales. Insurance/Legal Beyond the immediate costs of a worker s comp claim, an accident can result in additional insurance or legal expense. Examples: Surcharges or an increase in insurance premium. OSHA, state, or federal fines. Morale/Reputation These are intangible costs, impossible to quantify in hard numbers, but should be taken into consideration even if this type of cost is difficult to accurately measure. Examples: Lost morale for workers, damage to your reputation, potential to lose business based on bad reputation, loss of good will from bad publicity. If a glove can t protect you, or allow you to perform the way you need to work, it s just not getting the job done right. Dwayne R., Texas Roughneck Call MY.ARMOR or visit 57

58 The Importance of a Glove Trial A glove trial is the process of field-testing different models of safety gloves, either from a single source or several manufacturers, in order to identify the best glove for a particular job. When done correctly, the benefits of a glove trial include: Improved hand safety program and equipment and reduced rate of hand injuries Increased awareness of hand safety issues among workers Higher rates of compliance with hand safety PPE requirements Reduction in costs related to hand protection, through increased efficiency and durability of work gloves, or reduced insurance rates, medical costs, and workers comp claims Work conditions vary from one job to another. There is no way to tell how effective a particular safety glove will be without testing it in the field to see how it holds up and protects against the actual hazards encountered in the workplace. Although a glove may have tested well in laboratory settings and been granted a high cut rating, it may lack abrasion resistance and break down quickly in the field. If a glove doesn t offer the same level of protection at the end of the work day as it does at the beginning, then you need to consider another option. To ensure you avoid wasting time and energy on a poorly-run glove trial, we have outlined a set of proven steps you can take in the glove trial process. These tips and recommendations come from over a decade of experience working with large industrial companies. For the full white paper, please contact your HexArmor rep, or visit 58 HexArmor Oil&Gas

59 How to Properly Care for Your Gloves Improper glove care can shorten the life of your PPE. It can also lead to dermatitis, decreased dexterity, loss of protective abilities, and odor. Glove care refers not only to laundering but also proper storage, routine glove checks, and knowledge of materials and their particular strengths and weaknesses. Because there are so many different work gloves on the market, experienced safety managers should be aware of what workers gloves are made of and how they will stand up to the applications they re being used for. Common glove materials include nylon, spandex, leather, cotton, SuperFabric *, Kevlar, and knit fibers. Each of these materials has a certain way it needs to be cared for. Often there is a blending of the materials, making proper care even more crucial. Cleaning + Care Most gloves and arm and body PPE are machine washable. Please see hexarmor.com for product specific washing instructions. Increase Your Glove Lifespan by Up To 300% Laundering removes harmful chemicals, perspiration, and everyday grit and grime that can weaken protective fibers and seams. Our team of HexArmor solutions specialists are here to help you with this process, and they are more than happy to provide you with all the information you need. Proper Storage Gloves should be stored in clean, dry conditions, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Routine Glove Checks Glove life varies depending on the application, environment, and amount of use. It is vital that you perform routine glove checks before beginning work every day. Take note of areas that have begun to wear down, such as loose Velcro or a worn-down name tag. If you see holes in the synthetic leather or TP-X material on the palm of your glove, this is an indication that its protective qualities may be compromised, putting you at risk of injury. Lingering moisture or a strong odor are also signs that your gloves may need to be replaced. Keeping an eye out for these issues (and others) takes you one step further from a worksite hand injury, which is the ultimate goal of hand protection. *SuperFabric is licensed from HDM, Inc.
