Band IT

Band-IT will help you to find a cost-effective, tested solution that exceeds your performance requirements and helps cut costs. Pre-cut Band-IT clamps reduce hand injuries at QTEQ. QTEQ's aim of decreasing hand injuries started with gloves but concluded with an easy solution.

Band-IT can make solutions for all the specific applications. When QTEQ launched a program to decrease hand injuries they started with the obvious: Gloves. With several injuries occurring due to punctured gloves, they concentrated on improvements to their line of personal protective equipment (PPE). They tested a variety of brands and models of gloves but found that regardless of the gloves they tried, they were being worn through quickly which increased costs, waste, and risk of injury.

What if the gloves aren't the problem?

Band-IT clamps and all other products are popular with the application. The gloves were developing tears that are tested by QTEQ and they realized, their investigation changed focus to seem at the materials being handled by the gloves. They quickly realized that some staff was wearing gloves faster than others.

The focus turned to the banding product. QTEQ was using 100-foot coils of Sign fix 201 stainless steel which they would cut to size with pneumatic jaws. When they examined the cut band, they noticed the jaws left extremely sharp points and edges that might easily tear and rip gloves, clothes, and skin. When installing 1000's of bands each week, QTEQ realized that injuries weren't an issue of "if", but "when". The solution from Band-IT.

Switch to pre-cut bands

QTEQ approached BAND-IT for the better way to the sharp edges that were the results of cutting roll band to length. The solution? Switching to pre-cut BAND-IT Clamps with seals since the pre-cut bands had a smoother finished edge than the bands cut to length on-site. While the bands were more expensive to purchase, the benefits were immediate.
