Worker Gloves

The purpose of work gloves is to protect hands and fingers from a wide range of field injuries such as cuts, abrasions, chemical agents and electric shocks. Hand injuries can occur in the form of small cuts or more serious contacts and impacts can develop in a way that threatens human health. Work gloves, which must be used to ensure the health and safety of workers, are one of the indispensable parts of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

What is CCTV Equipment?

Personal Protective Equipment consists of materials specifically designed to protect workers against health and safety risks. A wide range of work safety equipment, including hard hats, safety belts to prevent falls from height, eye protection, protective clothing, safety shoes and protective gloves are some of the personal protective equipment.

Employers are obliged to protect employees' hands against harmful substances and impacts. For this reason, appropriate hand protection should be selected for workers and their use should be mandatory. Deep cuts, severe abrasions, chemical and thermal burns or extreme temperatures can put a worker's health at risk. A construction site has the potential to cause such injuries, so work gloves that provide high protection against various hazards should be part of your construction safety equipment.

Worker gloves are often designed from materials such as leather, rubber, nitrile, polyurethane, etc., and a choice is made between these glove types according to the level of protection needed in the working environment.

Choosing the Right Work Gloves

Depending on the task that workers will be performing, the protection they need also varies. For this reason, workers usually have more than one glove in their toolkit so that they always have access to the appropriate protection according to their needs.
When choosing a worker's glove, the following questions should be asked:

  1. What hazards are workers exposed to? Those working with concrete may be exposed to different hazards than those working with brick, or those working with electricity may be exposed to different hazards than those in contact with chemicals. For this reason, the properties of the work glove should be thoroughly investigated.
  2. How durable are gloves? You should pay attention to how well and how long the gloves will last against hazards. This depends on the brand of the glove, but also on your use. You should take care to use the gloves without exceeding the recommendations for use.
  3. How well do the gloves fit the hand? You should consider the comfort of the glove, its tactile sensitivity and whether it reduces the worker's dexterity.
