Wherever you are in the World, we're ready to help.
GripHero uniquely enables full compliance to all fuel handling regulations and consumer safety laws.
In the UK, Ireland and Northern Ireland; such as your fuel Safety Data Sheets, CoSHH Regulation, CLP Regulation, General Product Safety Regulation, DSEAR, H&S At Work Act, Occupiers Liability Act and others.
In the USA, the key Consumer Safety Law referencing the handling of fuels is the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (part of the Consumer Product Safety Commission).
These Consumer Safety Laws are very specific about the mandatory obligations to warn, inform, instruct and protect consumers. Because Petrol/Gasoline contains four Category-1 hazards, there are also additional regulatory requirements above and beyond the requirements for diesel.
Why is this important?
Do you know the detailed wording of these regulations and laws? As seen from an increasing number of fuel handling and contamination injury claims, injury law firms do. The precedent for these has been set (now evidenced in the public domain with large claims going to court). It is extremely likely your fuel stations are not yet compliant, exposed to these claims, and possibly with significant implications to your insurance cover.
Referenced as the benchmark for best-practice customer safety and uniquely enabling full compliance - GripHero is very quick, easy and low-cost to achieve the compliance you need, safeguard against fuel handling injury claims and maintain full and valid petrol station insurance.
What is the scope of risk to fuel stations?
Fuel stations (globally) are inviting consumers onto their premises to handle a extremely flammable Category-1 carcinogenic and mutagenic substance, most without regulation-compliant signage (i.e. clear and highly visible hazard signage and labels warning and informing consumers of the hazards, and instructing them to use the protection provided at the point of contact), and point-of-contact ATEX Safety-Gloves available for consumers directly within the ATEX fuel zone... warning, informing, instructing and protecting consumers, thereby reducing the exposure to the hazards to "as low as reasonably practicable".

The original GripHero
Through continuous material engineering, GripHero-1 evolved to enable you to interchange and manage your promotional content, brand messaging and fuel-grade labelling with our clear nozzle mounted ATEX-glove dispensers. Working in close partnership with one of the largest and most widely known chemical companies in the world, we are very proud to have engineered a revolutionary material. While this brand new clear material offered complete robustness, it is also transparent and prevents discolouring or yellowing with UV exposure. Specifically engineered for the harsh environment and rigorous use seen on petrol stations, this was a world-first in material technology... 2 years in the making. |

We're proud to introduce to our ATEX Safety-Glove range a brand new material made entirely from 100% recycled plastics (our all new 'R100 protection').
With over 2 years of development and testing, we've taken the time to create a protection option with the lowest CO2 footprint in the world. The resin for R100 cartridges is produced from the ‘open‐loop’ recycling of plastics (which includes items such as plastic bottles, plastic bags, plastic glove off‐cuts, plastic packaging and containers) and fully complies with and exceeds the EU Single Use Plastics Directive. Did you know... the equivalent of over 600 plastic water bottles (500ml size) is recycled to make 1 case of GripHero R100 ATEX Safety-Glove cartridges. Rather than these bottles being discarded to waste or littering our environment and oceans, they fulfil a new purpose – with each case of R100 cartridges protecting the health and wellbeing of 8,500 motorists from the bacteria, viruses and carcinogens present on fuel nozzles at petrol stations. GripHero has completed the ‘hard work’ associated with recycling (collection, storage, transit, sorting, washing, melting, reprocessing, reproduction) for you at the outset. By using this product, all CO2 footprint benefits associated with recycling and reusing plastics are attributed to your operations. Our R100 ATEX Safety-Gloves have been independently verified to reduce your CO2 footprint compared with standard gloves by over 87%, piece‐for-piece. R100 cartridges emit just 7.22kg CO2e per 10,000 protectors, compared to over 59kg CO2e per 10,000 standard gloves. However, when also accounting for the increased efficiency in dispensing GripHero ATEX Safety-Gloves, the CO2 footprint reduces by over 94% to almost no CO2 footprint at all. Importantly, this massive CO2 reduction is at the first, most hands-on and most visible point of contact throughout the whole customer journey. A point to keep in mind - motorists are unlikely to be aware of your sustainability efforts 'upstream' and behind the scenes, but they do have full visibility and awareness of how they are being protected at the pumps. This element of the customer experience is easy to get right. Please contact us for details. |

GripHero's efficiency and control has prevented scenes like this on forecourts across the world
|
In Summary:
GripHero has been designed with the motorist in mind; with the fuel retailers and operators in mind; with anyone fed-up of sticky, smelly hands in mind; or frustrated at the often-seen unnecessary waste. Ultimately, we are excited to be driving forward to make the everyday mission of fuelling a car an easier, cleaner and more environmentally-friendly experience for both ourselves and for you. A driver shouldn’t have to spend time searching or walking around the forecourt for hand-protection. For the level of risk to health, it should be completely convenient.
