Safety is the most basic requirement for everyone. Personal protective equipment based on protecting the personal health and safety of workers in the process of labor production plays an important role in preventing production hazards and ensuring the safety of workers’ lives. For the first time, the blog is pushing hand protection for you.
At work, the hand is a very vulnerable place for the human body, and the hand accidents involved can be roughly divided into five categories: germs and diseases, chemical attacks, friction injuries, cuts and cold and heat injuries. Most hand injuries can be prevented by wearing different types of gloves. According to safety protection performance, protective gloves are defense physics. The external elements of organic chemistry and microorganisms can damage workers’ upper arm labor protective equipment from fingers to wrists.
| Hand protection with personal protective equipment | The main dispensing type of hand protection | Protection function | The range of job application of protective gloves | The main choice of protective gloves material |
| 1 | Insulating gloves | Protect against the risk of electric shock during live work or possible contact with the power supply voltage. It has the functions of electric, waterproof, acid and alkali resistant, chemical and oil resistant. | It mainly uses electrical inspection, testing and maintenance work, involving units and jobs mainly in the power industry, metallurgy, nonferrous metals, building materials, machinery, shipbuilding, automobiles, electronics and so on | Made of rubber, latex, plastic and other materials |
| 2 | Protective gloves for welders | Protect against the high temperature, molten metal, spark burning (burning) of the hands and wrists during welding, and avoid cutting or scratching by the rough surface of the machine. | It is suitable for shipbuilding, automobile, building materials, machinery, light industry, coal mine, non-coal mine most welding work, commonly seen in arc welding, gas shielded welding and brazing | Generally made of cow and pig suede |
| 3 | protective glovees against | It is used to avoid damage to hand parts in low temperature environment. | First, it is engaged in open air or field operations in cold winter areas, such as oil, natural gas, construction, power transmission and transformation line construction and maintenance, geological exploration, agriculture, fisheries, field visits, etc. Second, rivers and reservoirs of water and underwater operations, water plant water pipe burst repair operations, sea and underwater operations. Third, indoor operations without heating due to conditions or other reasons, such as operations in coal mines, cold storage, cellars and other places. Fourth, the pre-assembly of the section steel working area of the rolling mill (liquid nitrogen); Air conditioning maintenance and other low-temperature jobs | Common cold glove materials are wool, velvet leather, chemical fiber, PVC and rubber. |
| 4 | Chemical protective gloves | It can form an effective barrier to all kinds of chemicals and other types of microorganisms, not including viruses, so as to avoid the damage of chemicals and microorganisms to the hand and arm. | Application in electronic equipment. Biotechnology. Pharmaceutical industry, printing and dyeing factory. Electroplating process, alkali industry, laboratory, chemical industry, chemical product processing, petroleum refining, precision installation, painting, printing industry and other working environment. Protection from harm is a particularly complex issue because of the diversity of chemicals encountered | PU special synthetic resin with strong solvent resistance and corrosion resistance is adopted |
| 5 | Antistatic gloves | Gloves with good ductility and antistatic properties, which can prevent the accumulation of static electricity and cause damage | It is widely used in electronics industry, dust-free workshop, semiconductor industry, photoelectric industry, machinery manufacturing, medical treatment and daily life | It is made of special anti-static polyester cloth, the board is composed of polyester and conductive chemical fiber, and the base material is composed of tapefiber and conductive fiber, the conductive fiber spacing is 4mm, 5mm or 10mm |
| 6 | Protective gloves against thermal risks | Gloves for protection against one or more forms of heat injury such as flame, contact heat, convective heat, radiant heat, small splash of molten metal or large splash of molten metal. | High temperature operation mainly has the risk of high temperature scald, heat stroke, etc. : The units and jobs involved are mainly blast furnace front worker, hot blast stove and furnace top operation and maintenance worker; Steelmaker, refiner, mixer, ladle preparation worker, continuous casting worker, slag treatment worker, cast iron worker and hot repair tile worker; Heating furnace worker in rolling mill; Coke side furnace door workers, iron parts hot repair workers, furnace cover workers, etc.; There are high temperature positions such as boiler foreman in power plant and kiln worker in flux factory. | Extremely high temperature mixed chemical fiber, carbon fiber, asbestos, glass fiber, aramid, aluminum foil materials and other high temperature resistant materials. |
| 7 | Protective gloves against ionizing radiation and radioactive contaminants | Protective gloves with ionization shielding can provide effective protection for the hands of the staff and reduce the damage of the hands caused by α, β and γ ray radiation; Protective gloves isolate radioactive contaminants from workers’ hands to avoid radioactive contamination of hands. | Machinery, coal mines, building materials, light industry, electric power, and other workplaces where ionizing radiation or radioactive pollutants are hazardous, such as radiographic detection, transportation, installation, measurement, and testing of radioactive sources, are not applicable to medical radiation protection | It is necessary to use a gold-plated substrate for reflection, or a lightweight and efficient absorbent material for absorption, and usually apply a reflective layer (such as 10 micron thick aluminum foil) on a flame retardant material to form a protective layer. |
| 8 | Protective gloves against mechanical risks | Used to protect the hand or arm from mechanical injuries such as friction, cutting, piercing or energy shock. | Build boats. Coal mining, metallurgy, nonferrous metals, petroleum, natural gas, fireworks, chemical industry, building materials, cement, non-coal mining, light industry, commerce, electric power, automobile, machinery and other contact, the use of sharp objects in the workplace, such as metal processing and edge cleaning, glass processing and assembly | Commonly used wire, Kevlar, Spectra and other synthetic yarn |
