Marigold® Industrial is raising awareness of hand and arm protection via an online competition, in which participants can win a trip for two to Portugal.

The gloves specialist is challenging those with responsibility for workplace health and safety to beat the clock and equip virtual staff with the right gloves for the job with its Web game, ‘Glove Up’.

Players demonstrate their skills on three levels of difficulty by trying to equip virtual members of staff with a pair of gloves from Marigold Industrial’s cut-resistant Puretough P Series, which features the company’s new Indicator System. When a level has been completed, players are asked a question, which, if answered correctly, will see them through to the next level.



The competition runs from October to the end of 2011, and the person with the highest score at the end of the year will win a trip to Portugal for two people. Other prizes available for high scorers include an iPod Nano, a set of mobile speakers, and for the highest weekly scorers, a USB stick. The game is available in seven languages and the scores will be listed on a leader board, so players will be able to see who is currently in the lead and how many points need to be scored to be in with a chance of the taking one of the prizes.



“We are delighted with the way ‘Glove Up’ has been developed, and hope as many people as possible take the time to play and see how they score,” said Melinda Ferrari of Marigold Industrial Ltd. “It is meant to be enjoyable, but there is still a message underlying the game – the importance of ensuring that workers are equipped with the right gloves for the job, especially when dealing with cut hazards,”
