Mailroom Equipment Gloveboxes for Safer Mail Handling

Since the anthrax mail incidents a few years ago, safe mail handling has become a concern for more companies. Innovative Technology's systems can be an integral part of your safe mail handling procedures by placing an additional barrier between you and any suspected contaminants. When potentially contaminated mail is safely processed inside a sealed glovebox, the glovebox prevents contamination and the spreading of anthrax and other contaminants. It does so by

  • Isolating mail within the glovebox when sorting and opening it
  • Removing harmful particles by filtering all air that passes over the mail during processing
  • Sealing the area when a suspected article is found

For mail handling, the glovebox is typically fitted with neoprene gloves. These gloves provide the greatest dexterity possible while still keeping your skin safe from contamination. Mail is loaded into the glovebox, the glovebox is closed, and the operator opens and sorts the mail. If no suspected contamination is found, the glovebox is opened and the mail is removed. If any suspect items are found, the mail remains sealed in the glovebox for further examination.

Please keep in mind that no glovebox or mail handling system can prevent all contamination, because mailboxes, mail containers, and the mailroom itself can become contaminated before the mail is processed. Therefore, it is important to take additional safety precautions should contamination be found. These precautions include sealing the room, washing hands, and notifying appropriate authorities.

When used in conjunction with these common-sense safety procedures, the System One glovebox protects mail operators and decreases the risk of spreading contamination.
