Work gloves come in an astonishing array of styles, materials, and purposes. Today, there are task-specific gloves for everything from heavy-duty work such as construction, machine repair, and oil rigs to light-duty tasks such as inspection, painting, and cleaning. Over the years, the industry has evolved from mechanical and labor-intensive production to finer motor-skill manufacturing and services. As a result, requirements for hand protection have evolved. Electronic Fasteners, located in Canton, MA, offer a selection of thick work gloves required to protect hands in heavy industrial jobs are being replaced and industry- and task-specific gloves that offer protection and dexterity while maintaining or improving worker productivity.
When choosing a pair of gloves that are best for you it is best to consider the materials they are made from as well as the purpose or task they will be used for. For example, if you are working with hazardous material, you will want to make sure that the work gloves you choose offer the appropriate level of protection. Other factors to consider include the fit of the gloves (too tight and they will impede movement, too loose and they will not offer adequate protection), the level of dexterity they offer, and how well they stand up to wear and tear. There are a wide variety of gloves available on the market today that are designed with distinct features, such as:
- Welding gloves
- Disposable gloves
- Cut resistant gloves
