Alicia Woods, from Sudbury, who owns and operates Covergalls, has been involved with the mining industry for over 15 years. She is currently the Director of Sales for MacLean Engineering, and also worked in sales for the Marcotte Mining Machinery Services Inc. In 2012, Alicia created Covergalls to design, manufacture and distribute wear for women miners. Her first large client was Vale. Several women miners, consulted to suggest their favourite gloves, chose Fastfit supplied by Covergalls as a representative product for the national collection. (From Acquisitions Worksheet, see Ref. 1)
Function
To carry products purchased from a retailer
Technical
Although women were always present in mining operations – in fact some medieval prints show women working in mines – only very recently, in the first decades of the 21st c. as women enter more high paying industry jobs, female entrepreneurs started to actively design, develop and manufacture PPEs especially designed to fit women’s bodies. “The Safety FastFit® glove is made using ANSI-107 compliant reflective and fluorescent materials to make you more conspicuous in hazardous working environments. High-visibility, moisture-wicking TrekDry® material wraps the top of your hand and reflective ink provides luminance. Synthetic leather wraps your thumb and safeguards your palm for improved wear when handling tools, while the elastic cuff provides a secure, second-skin fit with easy on/off flexibility.” From: https://covergallsworkwear.com/shop/for-women/accessories/safety-glove/ The product is manufactured by Mechanix Wear, which specializes in industrial gloves since 1991.
