The Different Types of Safety Gloves

There are a wide range of Safety Gloves which are suitable for all kinds of work places from the construction industry to home use and for general work safety.

Safety Gloves are needed for most work environments due a number of reason's depending on the line of work you are doing. This will mean that you may need different types of safety gloves for different jobs depending where you work and the sort of work you under take.

 

Finding The Right Safety Gloves

Finding and using the right sort of protective gloves is very important as if you use the incorrect safety gloves you could end up doing some serious damage to yourself or others around you. For example you wouldn't wear disposable gloves when handling glass, you would wear cut resistant gloves as they are designed to help stop the glass from cutting through into your hands.

For this reason we have created this page to explain which protective gloves are to be used for each kind of job whilst you work, we are also hopping this will help to keep your work environment safety with this extra safety equipment help.

Cotton Gloves

Cotton safety gloves are generally used as a glove liner or when you need to keep within hygiene rules. This type of glove is often used as a glove liner due to its comfort and soft cotton to help keep you comfortable at work all day long.

Cut Resistant Gloves

Cut resistant safety gloves are generally used in a work environment where you would be using knifes or other sharp objects such as glass in your day to day role. The cut resistant glove has been design to protect and last longer in heavy wear area's such as a reinforced thumb crotch along with fingerless Kevlar grips for added protection whilst offering a easy working touch.

Cut Resistant Reflex Gloves

Cut resistant safety gloves are generally used with sharp objects such as handling glass, knifes and much more. These are a great fit due to having high wear areas reinforced and glove-less fingers to leave you free to carry out fiddly bits whilst still being highly protected.

Disposable Gloves

Disposable safety gloves are made from Latex and Vinyl, and are generally used for quick and short term jobs to save time and money on buying heavy duty gloves for a simple job. All disposable gloves come in a smooth finish with beaded cuffs and are very light meaning that you can do any job with ease.

 

There are a wide range of safety gloves from a number of leading brand names in the PPE & Safety Equipment industry. Some of these leading manufacturers of safety gloves include such brands as; Polyco, Supertouch and Uvex.

General Handling Gloves

General handling safety gloves are flexible safety gloves designed to be used for general work use to help keep your hands safe at work. These are generally made of a light weight seamless knitted material, which helps to give a maximum dexterity for even the most tactile jobs without failing to give the highest protection possible.

General Reflex Gloves

General reflex safety gloves offer all the same options and protection as the general handling gloves but with an added latex coating to give even more grip for superior and secure handling in the work place with most tasks.

Ironclad Gloves

Ironclad safety gloves are made with Ironclad as the name states. These are generally used as a general utility glove as they offer superior safety and comfort and are also light enough to be worn all day, making them the ideal safety glove for most company roles.

Rigger Gloves

Rigger safety gloves are generally used for gardening and rubbish removal due to the thickness and heavyweight material. These are normal made up of a hide leather patch palm for a heavy duty and rigged palm, and use a cotton drill back with rubberised safety cuffs. These are the choice of many due to the fact they can be used on almost an job because of there superior thickness and heavyweight materials.

Making Safety Work $25.4 * Who is responsible for workplace safety? * Does self-regulation work? * Does safety pay? Managers are often reluctant to commit to occupational health and safety despite proven benefits to employees and the organisation. In Making Safety Work , Andrew Hopkins looks at the reasons behind the reluctance and argues that the current policy of emphasizing 'safety pays' is not effective. Rather, it is the threat of personal prosecution that most impresses employers. Based on interviews with Australian managers and occupational health and safety officers, Making Safety Work includes extensive case material from a wide variety of organisations. Hopkins also outlines strategies which OHS officers and representatives can use to gain management cooperation and build a safety culture within their organisation. Making Safety Work is essential reading for occupational health and safety practitioners, as well as students of management, organizational behaviour, business regulation and social policy.
