The Different Kinds Of Work Gloves

By Minnie Whitley


In the work place, there are many things to watch out for. Most especially that in this area there are so many accidents that happen. Basically, hazards are found in every way in the work place and they just wait to be triggered. For example in the construction site. Many contractors are at risk of falling, or being hit by falling objects. While for doctors, contamination and corrosion could happen.

Considering these cases, there have been protective gears which were made to keep workers from being harmed. One of those protective gears is the work gloves. Most of the time these garments are used by individuals whose hands are in contact with corrosive elements or hand wrecking materials such as chemicals, sharp instruments, heat and some other causes.

But those aside, there are also individuals who use gloves to protect themselves from mild chemical elements such as soap and other light chemical substances because of genetic factors such as allergies. However, these protective gears cannot prevent hand accidents to happen. But with safe practices and proper selection of the kind of garment for the work, you can avoid hazards.

Speaking of this, there are actually different types of working muffs. First, there is the disposable gloves. They are used to protect the hands from mild chemicals like detergent, and other cleaning agents. They are especially used by those who have sensitive hands. They are also used by individuals who prepare the food like the culinarians.

Next is the fabric gloves. This kind of muffs are used to improve the grip in handling slippery materials. But other than that, they can insulate the hands from heat and cold. Then next is the leather gloves. These muffs are often used in construction. Their purpose is to shield the hand from being scratched by rough and sharp substances.

Next is the rubber gloves. This kind is the ones used by both construction workers and medical personnel. Basically, this one protects the hands from being harmed by the strong chemical substances encountered in the experiments. In the construction, there are a lot of substances like petroleum products and other grease that could dirty and harm the skin.

But aside from those, they are used by various medical staffs like the doctors and scientists as well. Basically, these people are always engaged in experimentation of harmful substances just like the blood of contaminated patients. With this, to avoid contamination, they wear rubber muffs when they work.

Aside from that, there is the metal mesh gloves. This one is a kind of muff used to secure hands from accidental scratches and cuts especially by those individuals who deal with cutting tools and other dangerous materials, and the last one is the aluminized muffs. This one is designed to insulate hands from intense heat and is used by people dealing with molten materials.

These are the types of muffs used during work in order to protect against specific hazards. However, they are not a guarantee that you will be protected since they are just safety measures. Of course things would still largely depend on how carefully you do your work.
