Aquila gloves –trends in industrial impact and cut protection PPE

By OEM Update Editorial July 9, 2019 2:58 pm IST

On site visits around the world, we often see wrong gloves in the wrong working environment, cotton/nylon coated gloves in construction sites, for example where moving heavy objects is required. These gloves are not the best barrier for protection.

We have observed that even in quarries and mines workers are using basic nylon coated gloves where it is clear that cut gloves should be used as a more robust glove on abrasion and for protection from sharp objects. Often this is results from a company cutting cost at the expense of workers, or simply that workers may not know better, as they are not properly educated by the safety managers, and because gloves are frequently not seen as the most important protective wear compared to say; hard hats and shoes.
