Gloves
In this episode the Handyman Pros have a discussion about gloves.
In construction, gloves are essential for protecting hands
from various hazards such as cuts, abrasions, punctures, chemicals, and extreme
temperatures. Here are some common types of gloves used in construction:
1. Leather
Gloves: These gloves are durable and provide good protection against abrasions,
cuts, and punctures. They are often used for general construction work,
handling rough materials, and operating heavy machinery.
2. Cut-Resistant
Gloves: Constructed from materials like Kevlar or high-performance
polyethylene, these gloves offer protection against cuts and lacerations from
sharp objects such as glass, metal, or blades. They are particularly useful for
tasks involving handling sharp materials or using cutting tools.
3. Chemical-Resistant
Gloves: Designed to protect against exposure to chemicals, these gloves are
made from materials such as neoprene, nitrile, or PVC. They are used when
handling corrosive substances, solvents, or other hazardous chemicals commonly
found on construction sites.
4. Insulated
Gloves: These gloves are insulated to protect against extreme temperatures,
making them suitable for work in cold or hot environments. Insulated gloves are
often worn by construction workers who work outdoors or in environments with
temperature extremes.
5. Impact-Resistant
Gloves: Constructed with padding or specialized materials, these gloves provide
protection against impact injuries from heavy objects or machinery. They are
commonly used by workers who handle pneumatic tools, jackhammers, or work in
environments where there is a risk of being struck by falling objects.
6. Waterproof
Gloves: These gloves are designed to keep hands dry in wet conditions. They are
commonly used for tasks that involve working with water or in rainy
environments.
7. High-Dexterity
Gloves: These gloves are made from lightweight materials and provide excellent
dexterity and flexibility, allowing workers to perform intricate tasks while
still protecting their hands. They are often used for tasks that require fine
motor skills, such as handling small components or operating machinery with
precision.
8. Disposable
Gloves: Made from latex, nitrile, or vinyl, disposable gloves are used to
protect against contamination from dirt, chemicals, or other substances. They
are commonly used for tasks that require frequent glove changes to maintain
hygiene standards, such as handling hazardous materials or food.
Choosing the right type of glove depends on the specific
hazards present in the construction environment and the tasks being performed.
It's important for workers to select gloves that provide adequate protection
while allowing them to perform their job effectively.
