How do people usually wear gloves? Is it just a matter of wearing it casually? Do you know how to wear labor protection gloves? Let me share with you the knowledge about wearing gloves.
Labor protection gloves are equipped when performing some professional work or when the working environment requires them. Labor protection gloves are fundamentally different from ordinary gloves, and special attention needs to be paid to some matters.
1. Select labor protection gloves suitable for different workplaces as required. The size of labor protection gloves should be appropriate. If the gloves are too tight, they will restrict blood circulation, easily cause fatigue, and be uncomfortable; if they are too loose, they will be inflexible and easy to fall off.
2. The selected labor protection gloves must have sufficient protective effect. When it is time to choose steel wire cut-resistant gloves, synthetic yarn cut-resistant gloves cannot be used. To ensure their protective function, labor protection gloves must be replaced regularly. If the use period is exceeded, it may cause damage to hands or skin.
3. Polyester-cotton gauze gloves cannot be used for operations above 60 degrees, live operations, or corrosive operations; they cannot be used for underground operations, mining, coal mining, and tunnel construction where static electricity is a concern.
4. Labor protection gloves containing less than 20% cotton are not easy to use for gripping hammers, electric drills, and loading and unloading.
5. Check the gloves at any time to see if there are any holes, damage or abrasion, especially between the fingers. Chemical-resistant gloves can be inspected using the inflation method.
6. Pay attention to the occasions when gloves are used. If a pair of gloves is used in different places, the service life of the gloves may be greatly reduced.
7. Pay attention to safety during use and do not throw away contaminated gloves randomly to avoid harm to others. Keep unused gloves in a safe place.
8. Be sure to pay attention to the correct method when removing gloves to prevent harmful substances contaminated on the gloves from coming into contact with the skin and clothes, causing secondary pollution.
9. Be careful not to let chemicals enter the gloves, which may result in the inability to protect your hands.
10. Under conditions of excessive temperature, excessive force, excessive vibration, and excessively irritating chemicals, gloves may not be able to provide protection.
11. Do not share labor protection gloves with others, because the inside of the gloves is a breeding ground for bacteria and microorganisms, and sharing gloves can easily cause cross-infection.
12. Wash your hands before wearing gloves, and wear gloves on clean hands, otherwise bacteria may easily breed. After taking off your gloves, wash your hands and apply some hand cream to replenish oil.
13. Cover the wound before wearing gloves. The skin is a natural barrier against external environmental damage and can prevent bacteria and chemicals from entering.
14. Do not ignore any skin erythema or itching to prevent the occurrence of dermatitis and other skin diseases. If your hands appear dry, itchy, or have bubbles, please consult a doctor promptly.
15. Before using the labor protection gloves, if the gloves are found to be broken and moldy, they cannot be used. If the gloves are cut or ground during use, please replace them with new ones as much as possible.
16. People who are allergic to rubber should not use rubber gloves.
17. Sleeves should be put into the chest when working to prevent accidents.
