FAQ about anti-impact gloves

1.What are anti-impact work gloves?

Anti-impact work gloves are a type of hand gloves that are designed to protect the hands from impact harm. 

They are widely used in industry works such as construction, manufacturing, steel,and oil and gas, where workers are at risk of being hit by falling objects, machinery or equipment. 

Anti-impact gloves are typically padding or reinforced panels on the hands back, knuckles, fingers, and palms to absorb and distribute the force of impact. 

Anti-impact gloves shell material include 13G knitting liner, 13G cut resistant liner, Mechanic gloves liner and leather gloves liner.

These gloves can help prevent hurt such as bruises, cuts, and fractures, and are an important part of personal protective equipment (PPE) in many workplaces.

2.What are the different types of anti-impact work gloves?

There are different types of anti-impact work gloves, each designed for specific applications and hazards. Some common types of anti-impact work gloves include:

Construction gloves: These gloves are designed for construction workers who handle heavy tools and equipment. They feature padding on the back of the hand and knuckles to protect against impact, and reinforced panels on the palm to provide grip and protection against abrasions.

Mechanics gloves: These gloves are designed for mechanics, technicians, and other workers who handle tools and equipment that can cause hand injuries. They feature reinforced panels on the palm and fingers to provide grip and protection against abrasions, cuts, and punctures.

Oil and gas gloves: These gloves are designed for workers in the oil and gas industry who handle heavy machinery and equipment. They feature padding on the back of the hand, fingers, and knuckles to protect against impact and abrasion.

Welding gloves: These gloves are designed for welders and other workers who handle hot materials and equipment. They are made from heat-resistant materials and feature reinforced panels on the back of the hand to protect against impact and burns.

Cold weather gloves: These gloves are designed for workers who work in cold temperatures. They are insulated and feature padding on the back of the hand and fingers to protect against impact and cold weather conditions.

General purpose gloves: These gloves are designed for workers who handle a variety of materials and equipment. They feature padding on the back of the hand and fingers to protect against impact, and reinforced panels on the palm to provide grip and protection against abrasions.

3.Can cut-proof gloves with shockproof function be used in the oil industry?

The answer is not always.

13G A2 cut resistant gloves with shockproof and 13G A3 anti-cut gloves with anti-impact are OK to be used in the oil industry.

13G anti-ipmact gloves with a cut resistance level of A4 or A5, A6, or above generally have steel added to the core to ensure the cutting level. 

However, steel products cannot be used in the petroleum industry. 

once the steel wire on the gloves is exposed and reacts with the oil during use, it may cause fires and other safety accidents.

5.Choosing the Right Anti-Impact Gloves for Your Line of Work

Choosing the right anti-impact gloves for one's line of work is an essential aspect of worker safety. As per the 2020 Injury Facts by the National Safety Council (NSC), hand and finger injuries accounted for 14% of injuries and six days away from work. It is therefore crucial to identify the hazards present in the worksite, such as cuts, burns, dirt, grime, chemicals, heat, and needlesticks, before selecting the appropriate safety gloves. One should consider the fit of the gloves, ensuring that they fit snugly but not too tightly, as gloves that do not offer the proper protection can lead to hand fatigue and limit dexterity. 

The material should be selected based on its durability to specific job-related hazards. Comfort is also a critical aspect of glove selection, and gloves that make the workers uncomfortable are less likely to get worn, leading to the increased risk of injuries. Therefore, gloves that are comfortable and fit properly while offering maximum protection should be chosen. Ultimately, by selecting the appropriate anti-impact gloves for the job, workers can minimize the risk of hand and finger injuries, thereby ensuring a safe and secure working environment.
