Global experts in fuel handling consumer and worker safety

March 2025: Breaking news from the IARC:
"Automotive gasoline causes cancer of the urinary bladder and acute myeloid leukaemia in adults." The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) have reassessed the carcinogenic affects on humans of automotive gasoline/petroleum - a complex mixture of volatile hydrocarbons. The first IARC assessment of the carcinogenicity of automotive gasoline in humans was in 1988, pre-dating modern research. The IARC recommended, as a high priority, their reassessment of automotive gasoline to take account of more recent peer-reviewed studies and research, and account for the modern formulas of automotive gasolines. The IARC Working Group of 20 international experts published the results of their analysis (IARC monograph 138 - published 21st March 2025) which upgrades the carcinogenicity of the complex mixture 'automotive gasoline' from Group 2b to Group-1 (the highest group) concluding exposure to automotive gasoline itself causes cancers in humans... "The Working Group evaluated automotive gasoline as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1) on the basis of sufficient evidence for cancer in humans and the combination of sufficient evidence for cancer in experimental animals and strong mechanistic evidence in exposed humans. Automotive gasoline causes cancer of the urinary bladder and acute myeloid leukaemia in adults."

GripHero uniquely enables full compliance to all fuel handling regulations and consumer safety and worker protection laws. In the UK, key consumer safety law references include the detail within fuel Safety Data Sheets, Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (CoSHH) Regulations, GB CLP Regulations, Consumer Protection Act, General Product Safety Regulations, The PPE Regulation, Health & Safety at Work Act and the Occupier's Liability Act. In Northern Ireland, the key Consumer Safety Law references used include fuel Safety Data Sheets, CoSHH Regulations, EU CLP Regulations, The PPE Regulation, and the Health & Safety at Work Order. In the Republic of Ireland, key Consumer Safety Law references used include fuel Safety Data Sheets, Statutory Instrument #122 of 2024 (Carcinogens, Mutagens and Reprotoxic Substances Regulations 2024), EU CLP Regulations, The PPE Regulation, HSA Explosive Atmospheres at Places of Work, and the Safety Health and Welfare at Work Act. 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). In particular, with reference to Part 1500.14 - Products requiring special labelling under 3(b) or the act, and Part 1500.127 - Substances with multiple hazards. These Consumer Safety and Worker Protection Laws are very specific about the mandatory obligations to warn, inform, instruct and protect consumers and employees. Because Petrol/Gasoline contains four Category-1 hazards, there are also additional regulatory requirements above and beyond the requirements for diesel. |

Our Multi-Award-Winning ATEX Safety-Glove Dispensers

Nozzle-mounted
ATEX Safety-Glove dispensers Introducing GripHero-3 New for 2024, the GripHero-3 design of nozzle-mounted dispenser fits onto your new or old fuel nozzles. All dispensers will now come with hazard labels compliant with your fuel handling regulations and consumer safety laws, including:
The EU CLP Regulation has also been updated in 2024 (coming into force on 10th December 2024) to tighten and strengthen both the communication and protection of consumers, these are mandatory laws to warn, inform, instruct & protect consumers at the point of contact when handling hazardous substances and mixtures. They all refer back to the United Nations' (UN) Globally Harmonised System (GHS) for labelling hazardous chemicals. The GHS is the UN standard to ensure that all hazardous products and chemicals display official and globally recognised hazard label content, wherever they are sold within the United Nations territories. The fuel station will be selling fuel to consumers illegally without the very specific content required on these labels. The 2024 EU CLP update also brings additional clarification and restrictions for advertisements and supplemental information on CLP labels. Please contact us directly for more details. Specifically in the UK/EU, all nozzle labels will also comply with the fuel-grade labelling directive EN-16942. How do you refill GripHero with ATEX-gloves? |

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. |
