How to Choose Appropriate Protective Gloves [Environmental Measures VOL.8]
This will focus on cut injuries and chemical damage, which are believed to be common not only in labor accidents but also in near misses, explaining the characteristics of protective gloves and their proper usage.
Work that requires protective gear occurs not only in manufacturing but also in various industries. Among the many types of protective equipment, gloves in particular come in a wide variety, and there may be cases of improper use, reuse, or even instances where protective gloves are not used despite the work being hazardous. However, allowing such situations to persist leads to neglecting the "unsafe behaviors" and "unsafe conditions" discussed in VOL.3, which increases the likelihood of workplace accidents. In 2023, "cuts and abrasions" ranked 5th (5.61%) in workplace accidents, while "contact with harmful substances" ranked 13th (0.45%). However, there are likely many more near misses that did not result in accidents. This time, we will focus on the more frequent incidents of cuts and chemical injuries, discussing the characteristics of different types of protective gloves and the proper methods for their use.
