What are you actually exposed to when refuelling?
Have you ever noticed visible vapour effects around the filler opening while dispensing fuel — or simply recognised the familiar smell of petrol? Petrol vapours can contain hazardous chemical components, making inhalation one of the exposure pathways that should be considered during vehicle refuelling. Vapour-recovery systems are an important engineering control designed to reduce emissions and exposure, but they do not necessarily eliminate them entirely. This is why chemical hazard communication at the point of dispensing matters — helping users understand the hazards, routes of exposure and precautions associated with the fuel they are handling. Inform the user. Communicate the hazards. Support safer refuelling. |
What are your hands picking up during refuelling?
Fuel nozzles are touched by hundreds — and sometimes thousands — of people every week.
Throughout the refuelling process, hands can come into contact with fuel residues, dirt and other contamination commonly found on high-contact public surfaces.
At the same time, fuels themselves are hazardous chemical products that require appropriate handling and communication of risks.
GripHero helps address both considerations by providing convenient access to purpose-designed refuelling PPE at the point of dispensing.
Cleaner hands. Reduced contact with fuel residue. Better informed refuelling.

PPE in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Vehicle refuelling can take place within or adjacent to potentially explosive atmospheres, where the suitability of PPE should consider more than chemical protection alone. Where PPE is introduced to help protect against incidental fuel contact, its electrostatic characteristics and suitability for the refuelling environment should also form part of its assessment. GripHero PPE has been specifically developed for vehicle refuelling, with static-dissipative performance independently tested and verified for its intended use. This helps ensure that PPE introduced to reduce chemical exposure does not unnecessarily introduce another foreseeable risk. Chemical protection. Static safety. One purpose-designed refuelling PPE solution. |

Not all hand protection behaves the same
Have you ever noticed the hairs on the back of your hand standing on end when using disposable hand protection? This simple visual demonstration highlights an often-overlooked consideration when selecting PPE for vehicle refuelling: electrostatic behaviour. Different materials can behave differently when electrostatic charge is generated. Where hand protection is used around fuel dispensing and potentially explosive atmospheres, its suitability for that environment should therefore be considered alongside the chemical protection it provides. GripHero PPE has been specifically developed for vehicle refuelling, with static-dissipative performance independently tested and verified for its intended use. Because appropriate refuelling PPE should consider both: the chemical being handled — and the environment in which it is handled. GripHero complements the primary engineering and operational controls already in place to manage fire, explosion and chemical risks during vehicle refuelling. Purpose-designed protection for safer vehicle refuelling. |

GripHero helps reduce unnecessary glove waste by dispensing one piece of PPE at a time — making protection easy to access while helping prevent multiple gloves being pulled from the dispenser and discarded.
This provides a cleaner, more efficient approach to forecourt hand protection, with convenient access to purpose-designed refuelling PPE whenever it is needed.
Less waste. Cleaner hands. Practical protection at the point of refuelling.
