Gloves are an essential tool when working in environments with chemicals, corrosive materials, oils, heat, cold, and other hazards that can cause infections, irritations, and allergies to employees.
Specifically, there are various types of gloves depending on the protection they provide:
Nitrile Gloves: Protection against most chemicals and contamination-causing agents.
Rubber Gloves: Protect against mild corrosive materials.
Neoprene Gloves: Protect against most solvents, mild corrosive materials, and oils.
Latex Gloves: Protection against chemicals such as ketones, caustic materials, and acids.
Cotton and Polyester Gloves: Specialized for tasks related to construction, fishing, mining, agriculture, and assembly. Cotton provides comfort, sweat absorption, and allows hands to breathe. Polyester provides good mechanical resistance (especially to tearing) and greater resistance to chemicals and moisture.
Heavy Cotton Gloves: Protect against burns or other injuries related to particularly hot objects. Ideal for individuals working with sparks or fire, and those exposed to high temperatures during work.
Therefore, when you need to work in any of the conditions described above, you must assess the potential risks and choose the appropriate gloves for your needs.
