hOW TO Buy tHE RIGHT Work Gloves?

Choosing the right work glove for the job might be a simple task but not all gloves are made the same. It is important for the employer and understand the potential hazards employees will face each day and provide the proper personal protective equipment for the job.
Below are some keys to selecting the right safety gloves:

Check before buying work gloves consider its protective performance, comfort and durability based on the work environment and task requirements
  1. Risk Assessment: Start by assessing the specific risks and hazards likely to be encountered in the job, including minor scrapes or cuts that could lead to infections requiring medical intervention.

  2. Size and Fit: Gloves that are too small may tear, while those that are too large can affect dexterity.

  3. Trade-off Between Protection and Dexterity: Sometimes a trade-off between these two factors is inevitable, and you need to determine how to prioritize them.

  4. Protection Levels: Ensure that the gloves provide the required level of protection for the task.

  5. Wear and Tear: Regularly inspect gloves for signs of physical damage, such as tears, discoloration, or swelling.

  6. Expiration: Never use a safety glove past its expiration date.

  7. Material and Thickness Selection: Different glove materials and thicknesses offer varying degrees of protection, flexibility, or comfort. For example, coated gloves provide resistance to cuts and punctures, while leather gloves offer a good grip and resistance to abrasion.

  8. Specialty Gloves: Choose specific types of gloves based on the nature of the work, such as cut-resistant gloves, heat-resistant gloves, welding gloves, and chemical-resistant gloves.

  9. Chemical Protection: If working with chemicals, select glove materials that can resist specific chemicals, such as nitrile, butyl rubber, or neoprene.

  10. ANSI/ISEA Rating: Check the ANSI/ISEA rating of the gloves to understand their protection capabilities against certain contaminants and exposures.

  11. Temperature Considerations: Choose the appropriate heat-resistant or cold-resistant gloves based on the temperature of the work environment. Heat-resistant gloves should be able to withstand temperatures up to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit, while cold-resistant gloves should have the right insulation to reduce the risk of frostbite.

 

Safety Gloves for Heavy Tool Machinery

 

Some companies often find that workers are exposed to serious impact threats, especially from heavy machinery. Over the past few years, impact-resistant gloves have greatly reduced instances such as back-of-hand ruptures in the oil and gas industry.For high-frequency vibration operations, gloves are built with specialized shock-absorbing materials that effectively absorb and disperse vibrations, significantly reducing the transfer of vibrations from the operating tool to the hand, and the palm and fingertip areas are often made of non-slip materials or textured designs to provide a better grip.
