SAFETY GLOVES :

It is important to use the right safety gloves for the right task. Different tasks can require different types of gloves. When it comes to the choice of Work Gloves, it is important that you choose the one that fits you easily, does not provide any discomfort and helps you do your job while protecting your hands from the materials that may harm your skin.

Industrial accidents can have a devastating impact on workers. In addition to pain and mental anguish, an accident can cause major, unforeseen life changes. From the company’s perspective, accidents are expensive. An accident can disrupt production, hurt worker morale and can even lead to major legal costs and sanctions from regulatory agencies. The economic impact of occupational accidents across all industries is enormous.

The good news is that accidents don’t have to happen. Preventing them is the responsibility of company leaders, working with their employees, to protect everyone on the worksite. That effort requires sustained education and persuasion to get workers to adopt safe work practices — like wearing proper safety gear. Effective leaders take responsibility for preventing bad things from happening to their good people.

Reasons why should Industrial worker should wear safety gloves :

1. Protect Against Contact Dermatitis

The last thing you want is a painful, itching and burning rash due to contact dermatitis. Contact dermatitis is caused by exposure to a variety of cleaning products, soaps or simply due to an allergy.

2. Protect Against Chemical Burns

Many cleaning products contain dangerous substances that can burn or irritate your skin. Substances like ammonia, bleach, lye, hydrochloric acid, formaldehyde, dangerous acids or petroleum distillates can not only burn but also create deadly fumes. Hint: This is exactly when a solid respiratory program is necessary for worker health

3. Protect Against Communicable Diseases

Accidents and injuries happen in industrial facilities all the time. When they do, someone has to clean it up. Not only can the job be somewhat nauseating, but it can be dangerous. Bodily fluid can carry anything from the common cold virus to bloodborne pathogens and infectious diseases.

4. Protect Against Sharp Objects

When doing any cleaning or maintenance work you need to consider risk factors you may run across when choosing a safety glove. Will workers be exposed to sharp edges, cutting surfaces, blades or needles?

 

 

 

Types Of Safety Gloves Based On the Material

Safety Gloves can be of these types based on the material:

• Canvas (fiber and other synthetic materials): This type of work glove is ideal for protection from moderate heat and cold. Moreover, it provides resistance to abrasions.
• Leather: This material is used to provide protection in the areas where there is exposure to rough objects, chips, blows, sparks, and moderate heat.
• Metal mesh (aluminized): This glove requires an insert of a synthetic material to protect the skin. It is ideal for use in areas where a worker has to handle heat.

1. Cut Resistant Gloves

11. Electrical Safety Gloves :

 

The first defense against most hazards, safety gloves can protect against everything from cuts to chemical burns. When it comes to electrical work, you can’t be too careful given the chances of electrical shock, arc shock, or arc blast injuries . OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) requires workers to wear electrical insulating gloves for any work that comes in over 50 volts, though there are varying levels of protection available depending on the maximum voltage involved on the job.

So, how do you select the right gloves?

First, assess whether you are dealing with a low-voltage application or high-voltage situation to determine what class of gloves your workers require. For example, Class 0 gloves are proof tested to 5,000 volts AC and are approved for max use voltage of 1,000 volts AC, while Class 2 gloves are proof tested to 20,000 volts AC and are approved for a max use voltage of 17,000 volts AC

Improve Your Hand Protection Program With These Simple Steps:

• Perform Regular Job Hazard Analysis: Make sure to perform regular hazard assessments and walkthroughs. Identify and address all new hazards. The worst thing you can do is become complacent just because safety hasn’t been an issue in your facility…yet.

• Make Worker Training Mandatory: Don’t take hand protection lightly. Make sure your team understands the risks and how to protect themselves with the right PPE. This goes for veteran workers as well as greenhorns. Hold regular training and toolbox talks to make worker safety part of your company’s culture.

• Provide the Right Hand Protection: Make it easy for your workers to stay safe by keeping safety gloves and gear easily accessible. Train workers on how to properly use their safety equipment and reward those who follow the safety program.
