HexArmor Industry Applications Guide

#1 in needlestick protection Protect hospitality and tourism workers with the best needlestick-resistant PPE on the market

Almost 15 million Americans work in tourism and hospitality – hotels, amusement parks, art museums, and restaurants – making it the fifth largest industry in the country. These kinds of workers face tasks that are not only physically demanding but can expose them to occupational injuries, safety hazards, and even infectious diseases. Tasks like cleaning, changing linens, waste disposal, and other maintenance can expose staff to dangerous pathogens, broken glass, needles, and other body waste. Understanding proper hand safety needs when it comes to working around potential sharps hazards, especially needlesticks, and other waste can help hospitality and tourism staff prevent injury in the workplace.
