Gryphon team member John Baggett, PhD participated in a panel for the congressional briefing, Completing the Domestic PPE Safety Valve. The briefing focused on the current state of personal protective equipment (#ppe) manufacturing in the United States and policy recommendations to strengthen US industry. Dr. Baggett presented the findings from the our project, "Towards a Theory of Pandemic-Proof PPE." This work identified solutions to address the shortcomings related to design, production, distribution, quality control, and use of PPE that were observed during previous #pandemics to better protect our vital workforce in the future.

Our factories are not only a place where the well-known disposable gloves are made, but also a space where we care for both our employees and the planet. That's why we're proud to share that our factory in Thailand is SA8000 certified, a social standard. 🌟 What is SA8000? SA8000 is a standard that covers human and labor rights.

It's inspiring to see PPE manufacturers finally embracing inclusivity by offering a more diverse size range. This is a game-changer for those who have had to make do with ill-fitting PPE. However, this isn't a new concept for ATG® - Intelligent Glove Solutions ® They have been setting the standard for inclusivity from the very beginning. As seen in this YouTube screenshot from 11 years ago, ATG understands the importance of proper sizing. In every industry, there needs to be a company that sets the benchmark and inspires others to follow. ATG has always been that company in the hand protection market, and they continue to lead the way. #inclusivitymatters #handsafety #ppethatfits #leadingtheway #benchmarking

Exactly what we do here at Impact PPE.... Going directly to a manufacturer often proves to be a superior choice compared to relying on a supplier for several compelling reasons. Firstly, it cuts out the middleman, eliminating additional markup costs and potentially reducing the overall price of the product. This direct relationship also fosters better communication and understanding of product specifications, enabling more precise customization and quality control. Moreover, direct engagement with the manufacturer can lead to quicker response times, streamlined production processes, and greater flexibility in meeting specific requirements. Additionally, it enhances transparency in the supply chain, allowing businesses to have a clearer view of production conditions, ethical practices, and sustainability initiatives. In essence, going direct to a manufacturer empowers businesses with greater control, cost-efficiency, and transparency, making it a preferred option for many. #ppeproducts #ppe #ppesupplies #safetyfirst #safetymatters
