2. Who is ORR Safety? History of the KONG Glove
The
In early 2007, a Safety Committee comprised of members from some of the
KONG 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…
▄ Hairline Fractures
▄ Bruising Blows
▄ Pinched Fingers
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 Designed
By 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.”

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

(Poor) (Excellent) deemed a potential safety hazard. Over the next sixty days, ORR and Ironclad
collaborated to make improvements and developed “Prototype Glove #2.”

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.
