Hands often require the most protection in the workplace, but they’re regularly overlooked. This costs businesses and individuals time and loss of earnings. Safety gloves can provide resistance to cuts, abrasions, chemicals, and tears, with specialist gloves that offer industry-specific benefits.
There is also the risk of skin absorption of harmful substances, chemical or thermal burns, electrical hazards, bruises, abrasions, cuts, punctures, and fractures. These are all potential hazards to the hands and arms, which PPE hand protection such as gloves, finger guards, and arm coverings can help protect against.
The kind of PPE glove to choose will depend on the operation and the type of risk involved. Choosing the proper pair of protection gloves is a challenge because of the wide range of possible occupational hand injuries. But types of protective gloves normally fit into several key groups:
These safety gloves are typically used in hospitals or laboratories. They protect against biohazards, chemicals, solvents, and other dangerous substances.
These PPE gloves are designed to deflect sharp objects and resist cuts or punctures to the user's skin. Metal mesh gloves can also protect against cutting and slicing.
These protective gloves are used to protect against dirt, dust and abrasions and are the most popular style for routine tasks. They provide a thin, light fabric covering with minimal hand protection.
• Pinch points - Pinch point hazards are when any part of the hand or fingers are caught or ‘pinched’ between two objects.
• Sharp objects - Throughout many working environments there are multiple sharp tools, blades and surfaces that create hazards for workers.
• Extreme cold - A hazard when working outdoors in harsh conditions, cold facilities, freezers, and places with poor insulation. Risks include frostbite or other permanent tissue damage.
• Chemical - Multiple industries contain chemicals that are handled daily. These chemicals are prone to causing burns, irritation, and other injuries.
