How to choose work gloves
Ordering gloves correct size, you will be able to work comfortably all day or shift without worrying about the safety of your hands. To make the right choice, measure the girth and length of the hand from the top of the middle finger to the edge of the cuff of the product on the back side. Personal protective equipment, gloves according to GOST, have six different sizes, which are designated by numbers 6-11. From smallest to largest.
The degree of free movement of fingers while wearing gloves is also distinguished. It varies from I to V. In order to easily move your fingers while working, you need to select a model based on the specifics of your activity.
The selection of the appropriate product should be based on the possible hazards and stress during operation.
- PPE against impacts, cuts and punctures has five levels of protection. Where I has the minimum resistance, and V has the maximum.
- To protect yourself from the influence of chemicals, you need to select a product based on the type of substance with which you will have to come into contact. The product is appropriately labeled with the formulas of the chemicals it will protect against.
- To protect the wrist during the work process, samples with a knitted, tight-fitting cuff are preferred. To protect against hot splashes and flying sparks, choose products with long leggings.
- To reduce slipping during various manipulations, a special latex or polyvinyl chloride protector is applied to the palm area of the gloves. When making a purchase, make sure that it is present on the selected sample.
Choosing PPE for hands is a responsible task, the solution of which determines the safety of the worker. To avoid mistakes, seek advice from the managers of the Divo company. They will select for you suitable model, they will talk about the nuances of care, storage, and operation.
Several years ago, a very interesting and, in our opinion, promising product appeared on the market. We are talking about impact protection gloves or so-called impact gloves.
Who is the consumer of these gloves now? Anti-impact gloves are in great demand for heavy, extreme work, for example, among drilling workers. Where massive parts move, oil spills, where the monotonous work of a snake in itself is an insidious complication, where it is slippery and dirty. Special protection is needed here.
Shock absorption as a type of protection
This type of glove was born in the growing oil market, 4-5 years ago, when the cost of oil reached $140 per barrel, and oil companies were intensively developing the location of oil. Companies actively recruited new workers, whose qualifications did not always correspond to the plans and speed of oil field development. The natural result of such a race is injuries, especially to the hands.
The rapid development of the oil market gave impetus to the creation of a new means of hand protection. The principle of protection for anti-impact (shock-absorbing) gloves is the use of protective linings on the glove made of shock-absorbing materials that reduce the impact of impact, which prevents hand injuries.
The basis of the pads on anti-impact gloves is TPR (thermoplastic rubber). This molded material on the top of the gloves provides impact protection on many gloves. Properly selected material optimally dissipates impact energy.
The latest materials for linings can reduce impact by 75-90%, almost twice.
Nowadays, anti-impact gloves are combined with additional protection, for example, anti-vibration protection, cut and puncture protection, and grip enhancement technology.
In addition, a design with a cuff is often used to secure the wrist in one way or another. Getsiz.ru wrote about a similar model in its Top 10 review of new products.
New anti-vibration gloves began to be used with pleasure in other areas: in shipbuilding, construction (especially during reconstruction, destruction of structures using impact hand tools), metal work, mining work.
In the report we will show you the best examples of anti-impact gloves; some of these models are already used at Russian enterprises.
Ringers (USA)
One of the well-known manufacturers, especially active in the markets of the CIS countries (Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan).
KONG (USA)
CONTEGO (Australia)
Delta Plus (France)
HexArmor (USA)
Getsiz.ru already reported that in November the Uvex Safety company acquired a stake in the equity capital of the HexArmor company.
This transaction confirms the great interest of the PPE manufacturer in the development of the line of anti-impact gloves.
According to information received by Getsiz.ru, HexArmor gloves will soon be available for sale in Russia. The promotion and sales of these gloves will be handled by the Uvex representative office in Russia, the Uvex-SPR company (St. Petersburg).
Mechanix IMPACT PRO (USA)
Special models of anti-impact gloves are actively used by the military of different countries. This model can be purchased from the Splav company (Russia), which specializes in the production of clothing for law enforcement agencies.
TEGERA (Sweden)
The TEGERA company presents several models on the official website of its Russian representative office.
Moreover, they are promoted as “shock-absorbing gloves.”
Ansell (USA)
The world's leading manufacturer of PPE for hands, the Ansell company, was one of the first in 2016 to promote anti-impact gloves, the Prodex series, in Russia through its network of distributors. One of the first clients to use these gloves in Russia was the Sakhalin Energy company.
In Russia, manufacturers of anti-impact gloves, including Russian ones, have been very active since 2016.
Green Beach 21st Century (Russia)
The company "Green Coast 21 Century" (trademark Amparo) was the first to release an anti-impact glove of its own design, the Excavator model, onto the Russian market.
Manipula (Russia)
One of the large manufacturers of gloves in Russia, Manipula, has developed a series of anti-impact gloves, including anti-impact gloves with combined protection (vibration protection, cut protection). Manipula will launch this line of gloves in Russia at the end of 2017.
Anti-impact gloves are a new type of product that replaces gloves with a polymer coating, which currently dominate the market for industrial hand protective equipment.
Impact protection gloves were developed at a time when the consumption of personal hand protection equipment was growing year after year. The world economy was growing, industrial production was growing, and the price of oil was consistently high. With the change in the market situation, promoting higher quality, more expensive PPE to the market has become more difficult, but has not lost its relevance.
Anti-impact gloves have already won their consumers. Largest quantity These types of gloves are presented in the developed markets of the USA, Canada, Australia, and EU countries. But even in the Russian PPE market, they appreciated the extreme protection that this type of gloves provides, despite the relatively high price - from 1,400 rubles. for a couple.
The product is already on the market, looks attractive, is certainly needed and useful. But promoting anti-impact gloves requires a special approach; it is necessary to clearly explain to the consumer all the advantages of the product and take into account the disadvantages. Let's try to give an objective picture here.
Pros and cons of anti-impact gloves
Today, this type of product is purchased by companies for which the entire protective potential is extremely necessary and obvious, as well as subsidiaries and joint ventures of large oil companies with high international requirements for PPE, Sakhalin Energy is an example here.
According to Getsiz.ru, in 2016, various manufacturers supplied more than 10 thousand pairs of anti-impact gloves to end consumers in Russia; in 2017, manufacturers plan to double deliveries.
Still untapped potential
The product is very important and needed for many professions; it significantly reduces injuries in enterprises. Already today, impact-resistant gloves are used in various fields: military departments, motorcycle drivers.
Unfortunately, there is still very little information about anti-impact gloves in Russia. Manufacturers and their distributors place anti-impact gloves in their catalogs, but nevertheless do not actively promote them. Sales managers have not yet assessed the sales potential of this product; perhaps they are confused by the price. But the protective properties of these gloves, especially in models with combined protection, more than compensate for the purchase costs of enterprises due to the reduction in injuries and ease of use, which is the most important thing.
Getsiz.ru is confident in the excellent prospects of this type of hand protection with increased activity in the promotion of both manufacturers and their distributors.
The new edition of the EN 388-2016 standard already includes anti-impact gloves
“Shockproof gloves” as a protection class are not yet included in Russian standards. In Europe, manufacturers of anti-impact gloves quickly responded to the new opportunities that were opening up and already in 2014 began to develop changes to the EN 388 standard for hand protection.
In 2016, the new standard EN 388-2016 was approved and will be implemented in 2018.
The Standard approves the term “anti-impact gloves”; they will be marked with the letter “P”; a test methodology is also presented.
This good example for Russian and foreign manufacturers working in Russia, how it is necessary to quickly respond to changes in the PPE market.
We are confident that the PPE Association, as a self-regulatory organization, would support the initiative to amend the Russian standard for hand protection.
We urge manufacturers to take the initiative in this matter.
Lev Shapiro, General Director of Uvex-SPR:
I consider anti-impact gloves to be a very promising means of protecting hands.
The Uvex-Safety company is actively developing and introducing anti-impact gloves on the PPE market; at the end of 2017 we will introduce new models of anti-impact gloves on the Russian market.
We have added improved anti-slip properties to the new models of our anti-impact gloves; these are additionally important since hand slippage and impact occur most often when the oil grip is not secure.
Surprisingly and unfortunately, punches do not, according to Russian law, count as serious injuries, unlike cuts, punctures and mechanical impacts.
Hand blows, as an injury, are possible in any workplace. I started my working career as the head of an auto repair shop and hundreds of times in my life I saw how people injured their hands from an impact. Such an injury is very painful and dangerous, causing loss of ability to work.
A specific assessment of working conditions should provide a more accurate assessment of where such injuries are likely to occur. And the employer must eliminate this risk or at least reduce it by using anti-impact gloves.
It is necessary to change the issuing norms and corporate standards for this new means of hand protection, otherwise the mass use of anti-impact gloves in Russian production will be difficult.
In addition to the standards, I would like to draw attention to the need for special care for this category of gloves - washing, cleaning. The item is not disposable, requires careful handling, and will be issued for at least a year.
Vladimir Nichikov, General Director of Manipula Specialist:
Injury to the back of the hand is a common occurrence in the workplace. Moreover, in any production. Be it oil and gas or confectionery production. The latter also has warehouses and stackers. And these works are no less dangerous for the hands than the work of a miner or well driller.
Our company in 2014-2015 At the exhibition, BIOT offered to get acquainted with a whole series of shockproof gloves.
Then it was at the level of “very interesting, but the market doesn’t need it now.” But we continued to work on the PPE data for our hands. By the end of 2017, we plan to introduce and offer our consumers several models of impact-resistant gloves with unique protective properties.
New personal protective equipment made from expensive high-quality materials can further instill a culture of using gloves in any work. This is good.
It requires the efforts of the entire professional community to develop and adopt an impact protection standard, as has been done in Europe and is reflected in the EN 388-2016 standard.
This risk must be taken into account when assessing the workplace, included in the technical regulations and reflected, among other things. in standard industry standards, if, of course, they remain by that time.
The same meticulous and professional approach is required as in its time in the arc protection market.
Then the professional community and the market will quickly accept and appreciate such protection. Already accepted. Because it is convenient, reliable, effective.
(PPE for hands) - one of the worker’s personal protective equipment (mittens, gloves, finger pads, sleeves, etc.). This category includes all means for protecting hands from external physical and chemical influences. These are work gloves work gloves , leggings, vachegi, protective and restorative hand creams.
There are many types of work that require the use of hand protection ( PPE hands). The marking of protective equipment must be indicated in the labor protection instructions. These are works such as lifting and carrying heavy objects, various loads, packaging and sorting various products, work using electric and pneumatic tools and others.
Do right choice compliance is not an easy task for occupational safety specialists. To do this, it is necessary to analyze not only working conditions in the workplace, but also the production process as a whole.
Moreover, moisturizing, regenerating and nourishing creams in this case are only additions; the main attention is paid to the choice of gloves and mittens with optimal parameters for every field of activity.
State standards are regulatory documents, which manufacturers of special clothing focus on. In particular PPE hand defines, which contains a classification of the main production risks and the protective properties opposed to them.
Employers are required to provide their employees with hand protection, monitor the frequency of washing and cleaning, ensure proper storage conditions and timely disposal. Standards for issuing protective clothing are regulated by line ministries. The presence of protective gloves is a mandatory component of the labor protection system.
For each type of activity, a certain type of hand protection is provided:
For all types of reusable gloves, insulated modifications are provided that protect against low temperatures.
Personal protective equipment for hands are constantly being improved, the only thing that remains unchanged is cut, the materials acquire new progressive properties.
WHAT ARE THE SAME GLOVES SHOULD I CHOOSE FOR HANDS PROTECTION?
The most in demand are cotton ones, raw material provides a sufficient degree of air penetration and good hand protection; leather or rubber parts are often placed on the palm surfaces. Cotton products are available in suture and seamless, they are cheap, easy to wash and dry quickly.
The combination of natural and synthetic fabrics reduces breathability, gloves based on cotton with polyvinyl chloride, it is usually used for individual protection against penetration of substances that can cause allergies, such as washing powders, into the skin of the hands. Many buyers prefer to buy at a low price work gloves PVC, buying in bulk will save not only money, but also the time of thrifty owners.
WHAT OTHER PRODUCTS ARE THERE TO PROTECT THE SKIN OF YOUR HANDS FROM DAMAGE?
Today split leather gloves classified as inexpensive hand protection, split grain- the middle layer of leather, it is obtained in the process of its exfoliation, the price of the products is low. When purchasing in bulk, in large quantities, or placing goods on special order, the excellent wear resistance of split leather is enhanced in combined products.
The unconditional use of products is regulated in most industries by legislative acts; you should not save on their purchase.
The special properties of Summitech gloves allow them to be used as a means of personal protection for the skin of the hands when:
- carrying out activities with toxic substances or chemical compounds;
- welding activities, actions with hot objects;
- work in conditions of low temperatures, up to -50 degrees.
- fish processor;
- frost-resistant;
- anti-vibration;
- with nitrile coating.

A special place in the range of personal protective equipment used in various production processes is traditionally occupied by various types of protective gloves for the hands of workers. If the enterprise uses sliding surfaces or objects, then best choice to protect hands there will be mittens with palms made of PVC. The textured palm increases traction on sliding surfaces and provides excellent grip on smooth objects.
Protective mittens made of canvas are resistant to abrasive surfaces. They are suitable for work related to industrial equipment, fittings and other similar materials. Mittens made of natural cotton with a canvas palm are ideal for loading and unloading operations, protecting hands when working with sharp and cutting objects, as well as for any type of activity that does not require increased sensitivity of the fingers. In addition, the gloves are designed to protect hands when in contact with both very hot and very cold surfaces, as well as for working in low temperatures on outdoors and in unheated rooms. For many operations in any industry, it is important to strike a balance between protection, comfort and tactile sensitivity. This is especially important when performing assembly and repair operations, since the employee manipulates small parts, fasteners and tools throughout the entire work shift. Fatigue associated with the strain and discomfort of regular gloves can lead to unexpected consequences.

The use of hand protection is a necessary measure to prevent the adverse effects of hazardous factors on the hands of workers. A wide range of PPE for hands presented on the market will allow the employer to provide effective protection workers from a wide variety of risks in the workplace - from mechanical damage, from contact with aggressive environments, will allow you to organize safe work in extreme climatic conditions or when performing special work.
Work gloves size
Ordering gloves of the correct size is a guarantee that you will be comfortable working in them. One way to determine the right size is to use a tailor's tape measure to measure the circumference of your arm. Measure the circumference as shown in the figure and compare the result obtained with the size in the table. When measuring hands this way, all possible deviations hand size. For example, some workers may have long fingers, while others may have short fingers. Workers may feel that gloves, which are a size larger or smaller than measured, fit more comfortably on the hand.
The actual dimensions of gloves are determined by the manufacturer, taking into account the characteristics of the material and the intended purpose, for example, if gloves Is there a sewn cuff or is it made of elastic material, the dimensions are indicated for the unstretched state.
According to anthropometric studies carried out in different countries, 6 hand sizes were identified.
The company MNKP Labor Protection LLC offers to buy gloves to protect your hands from external influences. The page presents products for construction work, manufacturing and other areas.
