Importance of Protected Safety Equipment - Why wear hand protection?
Hand protection is an important factor in any work environment. Gloves can provide protection against harsh chemicals, cuts, hot surfaces, and other potential hazards. Depending on the type of work being done, different types of gloves are available to provide the necessary protection. For instance, when working with chemicals, chemical-resistant gloves should be worn. For welding, flame-resistant gloves would be recommended. It is also important to ensure that gloves fit properly so that they do not impair dexterity or movement. In some cases, the use of a glove liner can provide additional protection. For use in the medical, dental, or restaurant industry, disposable gloves may be recommended to prevent the spread of germs and bacteria. Proper hand protection is essential for any work environment and it is important to ensure that gloves are worn when necessary and that they fit properly.
Standards & Uses for Gloves - What are the different types of hand protection?
Our gloves adhere to standard levels of:
EN 374-1 defines the terms and requirements for protection against chemicals and microorganisms. It specifies the requirements for gloves and other hand protection equipment that offer protection against chemical and microbiological hazards. This standard also outlines the testing methods used to evaluate the performance of the gloves and other hand protection equipment.
EN 374-2 outlines a test procedure for gloves that protect against chemicals and/or microorganisms by measuring their resistance to penetration. The test procedure evaluates the performance of the gloves in a range of scenarios, such as when exposed to water, detergents, and other liquids, in order to determine the effectiveness of the glove material in preventing the penetration of chemicals and microorganisms.
EN 374-3 outlines a method for assessing the resistance of gloves to permeation of non-gaseous chemicals under repeated contact conditions. This method evaluates the performance of the gloves in terms of resistance to permeation and provides guidance on how to select gloves for specific hazardous environments.
What is OSHA's requirement for hand protection?
OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) requires employers to provide hand protection to employees when they are exposed to hazards that could cause injury or illness. The employer must provide gloves or other hand protection equipment that meet the requirements of the applicable OSHA standard. The types of gloves or other hand protection equipment must be appropriate for the hazard, and the employer must ensure that employees use the gloves or other hand protection equipment properly. The employer must also train employees in the proper use of gloves or other hand protection equipment.
