Professional Environmental Management is good for business
and industry. Many pollution incidents are avoidable and failure
to comply with the law could result in personal prosecution and
huge fines. Parker Merchanting help businesses prevent possible
prosecution, work in a safe place and aid the protection of the
environment.
Hand Protection Assessment Survey (HPAS): Selecting the most
appropriate hand protection will help safeguard employees against
unavoidable hazards and support organisations in taking steps
towards improved health and safety practices. During 2012/2013, the
estimated average number of days lost for each handling injury was
10.8 days. HPAS is an ideal starting point to help any organisation
ensure their employees and business are protected from the risk of
injury.
With such a wide choice of hand and arm protection available, the
process of selection is becoming increasingly complex. HPAS surveys
provide a documented process to support organisations in their risk
assessment procedures. The surveys help to ensure organisations

comply with the current EN standards and
legislation, in particular the Use of Personal
Protective Equipment Directive 89/656/EEC.
They provide a detailed report highlighting
the most appropriate specifications of hand
and arm protection and identify the areas
where improvements can be made, both
from a cost and best practice perspective.
HPAS surveys are undertaken by glove
industry experts and are conducted with
no obligation to trial or buy. The surveys
help safeguard against expensive claims
and time lost due to employee absence
through injury.
Safety Prescription Eyewear: It
is essential that safety glasses are
accepted and worn by the people they
are designed to protect. Prescription
safety eyewear must include the
same prescription as the worker’s
standard prescription spectacles and be adapted to meet the visual
demands of the workplace. Individuals who require corrective
lenses should not be forced to wear over-spectacles that are not
only uncomfortable but are also dated. Parker Merchanting have
introduced a large range of corrective lens safety options, including
spectacles and goggles, in conjunction with their preferred safety
eyewear supplier Bolle. The range features various frames that
can be glazed with four types of prescription lens: single vision,
bifocal, progressive or free form, and three different lens materials:
polycarbonate, CR39 or toughened glass.
