What Type of Hand Protection Should You Use?

With so many gloves available, there’s no reason to go unprotected. Different jobs and tasks mean exposure to different hazards. When deciding on what glove to use, there are a few things to consider.

What are the specific risks involved with the task (heat, chemicals, potential for a puncture wound, etc.)?

How important is dexterity to the job? Some gloves can cause loss of movement.

Size is also important. If a glove is too big, there’s a risk of it getting caught in machinery.

What are the gloves made from? PVC protects against many water soluble chemicals, while nitrile provides a good dry grip that's impervious to oil, solvents and grease.

How to Choose the Right Chemical Handling Gloves

Safety gloves can mean the difference between being injured in the workplace and staying safe. When exposed to hazards like chemical spills, frostbite, thermal burns and more, it's vital that workers protect their hands.

Given the range of safety gloves on the market, knowing which one to use isn't always a straightforward matter. These are some questions workers should consider before deciding:

• What types of chemicals will they be handling?
• How long will they be in contact with the substance?
• Will their hands be fully immersed or just be exposed to splashes?
• Do they need to protect only the hand or the forearm as well?
• What sort of grip will they require?
