Hand protection by hazard
Hand injuries are among the most common at work, and no single glove suits every job. Start with the hazard, then pick the glove:
- General handling and packing: cotton knitted gloves (Raga, 35 to 80 g a pair) and PVC dotted gloves (Udyogi) for grip and light protection.
- Assembly and oily parts: PU and nitrile palm coated gloves from Portwest, Mallcom, Karam and Udyogi; heavy nitrile oil grip gloves for grease and coolant.
- Sharp edges: HPPE cut resistant gloves from Portwest, Mallcom, Udyogi and Karam, with cut levels shown as the maker's rating.
- Chemicals and cleaning: PVC gauntlets, natural rubber and unsupported nitrile gloves, and disposable nitrile gloves for labs and food.
- Heat and welding: split leather welder gloves, aramid and aluminised aramid gloves, and the HICARE 22 inch aluminised aramid glove for radiant heat.
- Extreme cold: cryogenic gloves from HICARE and Udyogi for liquid nitrogen dewars and cold stores.
- Electrical work: the Diamond Protech DR-001 rubber glove, rated by the maker for use up to 1000 V AC.
- Knife work and ESD areas: the Udyogi stainless steel chain mesh glove for meat and fish processing, and Portwest antistatic gloves for electronics.

Setting up a glove programme
- Map jobs to gloves: list each job, its hazard and the glove for it, and display it at the workstation.
- Balance protection and feel: a glove that is too thick for fine work will be taken off. Thin coated gloves suit assembly; heavy gloves suit heavy work.
- Sizes: keep a mix of sizes in store; loose gloves can catch in machines.
- Packs: many gloves come in packs of 12 or 100 pairs, or boxes of 100 for disposables, which helps store planning.
- Replace on time: change gloves that are cut, worn through, swollen by chemicals or stiff with heat.
