TEST OUR GLOVES: SHOWA 4 WEEK TRIAL PROGRAMME
The SHOWA 4WTP consists of a strategic plan whereby glove trials can be managed effectively through 4 timed processes. These processes evaluate the performance of a SHOWA glove vs a currently used glove, indicating user preferences and advantages in terms of comfort, dexterity, fit and longevity. After 4 weeks a cost-efficient, custom-made plan for your hand protection needs is presented.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS
4WTP is a holistic approach to optimizing your operation’s safety and cost-performance. Beginning with a comprehensive hazard assessment, we identify risks in your workplace and establish a benchmark to measure the impact of 4WTP effectiveness over time.
1. INITIAL MEETING
- Visit customer to discuss glove requirements and attributes, assess risks and evaluate protection required
- Present suggestions together with pertinent information on the product and the features and benefits
- Once products suggestion are agreed upon, the trial can take place
2. PROVIDING SAMPLES FOR TRIAL
- Personally hand out samples to the individuals selected for trial
- Test the users for fit and educate on glove qualities
- Advise user on the timescale of the trial (generally 1 week)
- Encourage each person to keep the pair trialled for inspection in week
3. SAMPLES TRIAL EVALUATION
- SHOWA staff interviews each user who trialled the gloves
- Glove inspection
- Complete the questionnaire about both the currently-used glove vs
- SHOWA glove, to compare the wear and features
- User then signs the trial form
4. HAND PROTECTION PROGRAMME
