Every Unsafe Glove Is a Lawsuit Waiting to Happen

by | Jan 7, 2026 | Gloves Standards

In high-risk industries such as manufacturing, chemicals, oil & gas, logistics, construction, laboratories, and janitorial services, glove failure is not a minor incident. It is a legal, financial, and operational risk.

When workers handle chemicals, machinery, sharp components, or hazardous materials, the wrong glove can trigger consequences that extend far beyond the factory floor.

The Real Cost of Unsafe Gloves

Businesses often underestimate what happens after glove failure:

  • RM18,000–RM80,000 per hand injury in medical treatment, downtime, and productivity loss
  • JKPP penalties of up to RM90,000 for using non-compliant PPE
  • Damaged OSH performance records that affect audits, tenders, and customer trust
  • Insurance claims and investigations that become difficult without certified PPE
  • Immediate drops in morale, productivity, and operational confidence

Business owners are not just afraid of gloves tearing.They are afraid of what happens next. Compliance Is Not Optional Under Malaysian workplace safety regulations, employers are legally responsible for providing suitable and certified PPE.

When incidents occur, investigators and auditors ask:

  • Was the PPE compliant?
  • Was it certified?
  • Can you prove it?

This is where DOSH–SIRIM certification becomes critical.

Certified gloves provide:

  • Regulatory defensibility
  • Audit confidence
  • Protection during insurance and legal reviews

In short, certification protects your workers — and your business.
