Safety Knowledge
Most of the operations on the construction site are done by hands. So this make the hands are often in danger environment. The safety protection of hands mainly depends on gloves. When using protective gloves, we should first analyze the operating conditions and checking the equipment in order to select gloves which are made of appropriate materials. But there are some problems: For some precision machinery, wearing protective gloves is not easy to operate. Otherwise, operators who use drilling machines, milling machines, conveyors, if they use gloves, may be entangled or pinched by the machine. Therefore, those engaged in these operations are strictly prohibited from using protective gloves.The commonly used protective gloves are as follows:
1. Labor protection gloves
With the function of protecting hands and arms, workers generally use this kind of gloves when working.
2. Insulating gloves for live working.
Choose the appropriate gloves according to the voltage, check the surface for defects such as cracks, stickiness, and brittleness. If there is any abnormality, it is prohibited to use it.
3. Acid and alkali resistant gloves
Mainly used when exposed to acids and alkalis
4. Rubber oil resistant gloves
Mainly used when contact with mineral oil, vegetable oil and various aliphatic solvents.
5. Welder gloves
The protective gloves for electrical worker and welder should be checked for any defects such as stiffness, thinness, holes, etc. Both of the leather or canvas surface should be checked. If there are defects, they are not allowed to be used. The gloves should be of sufficient length, and the wrists should not be exposed outside.
