They grab, hold, move, and manipulate objects so that we can perform daily activities to live and work. Reports of hand and finger injuries have ranged from 25% to 80% for all workplace accidents. Therefore, it is extremely important that workplaces provide safe and effective measures to reduce hand injuries. One of the easiest methods to protect the hands is to wear gloves.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Un-guante-diferente-para-cada-trabajo\"><\/span>A different glove for each job.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first step employers can take to reduce hand injuries is to evaluate their operations and examine the use of gloves throughout their business processes. To help find the \u201cright glove for the job,\u201d many countries have occupational glove standards. Australian \/ New Zealand glove standards AS \/ NZS 2161.1: 2000 ensure better hand, wrist and forearm safety in the workplace. In the United States, ISEA developed the first American National Standard for glove selection criteria, ANSI \/ ISEA 105, and the Hand Protection Group is represented on other technical standards committees in the United States and around the world. . There are also numerous glove manufacturers that provide guidelines on glove selection.<\/p>\n<p>The following table shows some of the types of gloves available for different work environments.<\/p>\n<table class=\"borders\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Glove Type<\/th>\n<th>Work environment<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Disposable<\/td>\n<td>It is used in any work environment to protect hands and products being handled, eg food handling, health workers<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Liquid proof protection<\/td>\n<td>It is used in jobs involving liquids with a low chemical aggression factor, e.g. abrasive cleaning agents<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Chemical protection<\/td>\n<td>It is used when working with chemicals that can penetrate or degrade gloves.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Thermal protection<\/td>\n<td>It is used to protect against prolonged contact with hot or cold objects, e.g. working with liquid nitrogen<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Heavy duty and cut protection<\/td>\n<td>It is used for heavy mechanical work or work with the risk of abrasion, cuts, tears and perforations.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Critical environmental protection<\/td>\n<td>It is used in controlled or confined environments with strict cleanliness requirements, e.g. sterile surgical gloves<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<section class=\"textBlock imageLinkBlockTitle\">\n<h5 class=\"colour--primary\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Guantes-de-examen-utilizados-en-la-asistencia-sanitaria\"><\/span>Exam gloves used in healthcare<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"imageLinkBlock\">\n<div class=\"flex\">\n<div class=\"imageLinkBlock__item__image\">\n<p>                        <img alt='nitrile__protectwyjqcm90zwn0il0_focusfillwzi5ncwymjisingildfd-9047323-9018480' src='https:\/\/doctorhoogstra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/nitrile__ProtectWyJQcm90ZWN0Il0_FocusFillWzI5NCwyMjIsIngiLDFd-9047323.jpg'>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p-small\">Nitrile<\/p>\n<div class=\"imageLinkBlock__item__image\">\n<p>                        <img alt='vinyl__protectwyjqcm90zwn0il0_focusfillwzi5ncwymjisingildfd-8074756-7828596' src='https:\/\/doctorhoogstra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/vinyl__ProtectWyJQcm90ZWN0Il0_FocusFillWzI5NCwyMjIsIngiLDFd-8074756.jpg'>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p-small\">Vinyl<\/p>\n<div class=\"imageLinkBlock__item__image\">\n<p>                        <img alt='latex__protectwyjqcm90zwn0il0_focusfillwzi5ncwymjisingildfd-8554496-9428845' src='https:\/\/doctorhoogstra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/latex__ProtectWyJQcm90ZWN0Il0_FocusFillWzI5NCwyMjIsIngiLDFd-8554496.jpg'>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p-small\">Latex<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"clearfix imageLinkBlock\"><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conseguir-el-%E2%80%9Cmejor-ajuste%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>Get the &quot;best fit&quot;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Worker safety goes beyond selecting the right glove for the right job.
