At this time, ORR Safety partnered with Ironclad Performance Wear

Corporation and started the process of developing a specialty glove for the

“oil and gas” industry.

Concept Glove DesignedBy the end of August 2007, ORR and Ironclad had created the first oil and

gas concept glove. After additional input from the Safety Committee and a few

final changes, the first “Prototype Glove” became a reality. From November

to December 2007, four companies and over 200 workers field tested

“Prototype Glove #1.”

Field Test Results for Prototype Glove #1

Upon reviewing the field test results, it was determined that two primary areas for

improvement were “grip” and“durability.” Additionally, the velcro wrist strap was

deemed a potential safety hazard. Over the next sixty days, ORR and Ironclad

collaborated to make improvements and developed “Prototype Glove #2.”

In early 2007, a Safety Committee comprised of members from some of the

world’s largest oil and gas companies (ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, Chevron

and Superior Energy) targeted hand injuries as one of the key safety initiatives for

the year. It was through this initiative that ORR Safety was invited to develop a

specialty glove to reduce, if not eliminate, these costly hand injuries…

After over 80,000 hours of field testing and over a year in development, the

KONG Glove became a reality. Having improved the overall performance rating

of the glove in 6 out of 7 categories and the Safety Committee’s confidence with

the final design of the glove, production of KONG began in July of 2008.

Our thanks goes out to the Safety Committee Members and their companies,

ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, Chevron and Superior Energy, for investing time

and effort to improve the safety and well being of the workers who make their

livelihood in the oil and gas industry. We at ORR Safety and Ironclad are honored

to be a part of this process, and thank you for all your input and support.

preventing a hand injury when

either a tool slipped or a finger was

smashed. Everyone has worked

so hard on getting the right

glove and I believe those

efforts will pay off.”
