Protecting Hands in the Mining industry: A Task‑Based Approach.

Date: Wednesday, December 9, 2026 at 2:00pm ET - 1:00pm CT - 11:00am PT

In mining, tough conditions demand tougher protection. From underground operations and heavy equipment maintenance to material handling and mineral processing, miners face some of the industry's most challenging hand hazards. In this upcoming Watson Gloves mining webinar, their hand protection experts will break down the risks associated with cuts, impacts, abrasion, vibration, extreme temperatures, and chemical exposure, and explain why choosing the right glove for the right task is critical to worker safety and operational performance.

Beyond protection, this session explores how smarter glove selection can help mining operations reduce injuries, improve compliance, extend glove life, and lower overall costs. Discover how poor fit, premature wear, and improper glove choices can impact productivity, and how a hazard-based approach can create safer, more efficient, and more sustainable glove programs. Whether you're in mine safety, operations, maintenance, distribution or procurement, you'll walk away with practical insights to help keep workers protected and operations running smoothly.
