In the fast-paced world of food processing and sanitation, workers face unique challenges, from splashes of hot oil to caustic cleaning agents. That’s why Steel Grip is introducing a specialized PPE line designed to tackle these hazards head‑on while keeping teams comfortable and operations compliant.

Hot Oil & Heat Protection That Doesn’t Burn (Workers Out)

Workers routinely maneuver around fryers, steam tunnels, and boiling liquids. Steel Grip’s Hot Oil Defense + Heat & Flame Resistance gear is engineered to stand up to high temperatures and thermal hazards. This kind of protection helps prevent severe burns and scalds, common risks in kitchen and sanitizer-heavy environments.

Regulatory bodies like OSHA require protective equipment any time employees are at risk of burns from hot liquids—Steel Grip’s offerings check that box effortlessly.

Chemical Splash Armor, Certified & Proven

Sanitization often involves handling powerful chemicals—such as bleaches, acids, and caustics—that can cause burns and injuries. Steel Grip’s liquid chemical splash protection meets the NFPA 1990/1992 standard for liquid-tight integrity.

This certification ensures that garments resist chemical penetration under real-world conditions, which is critical for safeguarding workers and avoiding compliance headaches.

Durable, Reusable, and Cost-Effective

Disposable gear adds up fast. Steel Grip’s reusable PPE is constructed for multiple cycles, backed by durable materials and reinforced stitches. Expect longevity, reliability, and a lower total cost of ownership.

Breathable Comfort = Productivity

Traditional PPE can be hot and cumbersome, increasing fatigue and downtime. Steel Grip flips the script: lightweight, breathable designs let heat and moisture escape, improving comfort and shift-long performance. That equals fewer breaks, better focus, and reduced risk of heat stress.

Why PPE Matters in Food Processing

  1. Food Safety & Hygiene – PPE isn’t just about protecting people—it also protects the product. Proper gear minimizes contamination from hair, oils, pathogens, or chemicals. Clean gear = cleaner food.
  2. Worker Safety & Retention – Hot oil, chemical and heat exposure—they all hurt. The right PPE drastically reduces incidents, keeping your team healthier, happier, and on the floor.
  3. Regulatory Compliance – From OSHA to NFPA and local food safety codes, PPE that checks standards is non-negotiable. Steel Grip ensures you’re compliant and protected from liability.
  4. Operational Efficiency – Comfortable, high-performing gear boosts productivity. Employees can work harder, longer, and with fewer interruptions for accidents or gear issues.
