In the framework of personal protective equipment (PPE) compliance, gloves are key equipment for hand protection, and their selection, use and maintenance are crucial.

Selection of gloves

1. Understand the working environment:

1. Before choosing gloves, you must first evaluate the potential hazards in the working environment, such as chemicals, mechanical injuries, high or low temperatures, electricity, etc.

2. Choose gloves with corresponding materials and characteristics according to the type of hazard.

2. Choose appropriate materials:

1. For operations involving contact with chemicals, gloves with corresponding chemical protection properties should be selected, such as latex gloves, nitrile gloves, neoprene gloves, etc.

2. For mechanical injury protection, such as cutting, puncture, etc., gloves with high strength and wear resistance should be selected, such as wire gloves, anti-cut gloves, etc.

3. For high or low temperature operations, gloves with high or low temperature resistance should be selected, such as asbestos gloves, heat-insulating gloves, etc.

3. Consider comfort and size:

1. Choose gloves of appropriate size to ensure comfortable wearing without affecting hand dexterity and work efficiency.

2. Pay attention to the breathability and moisture absorption of gloves to keep hands dry and comfortable.

Use of gloves

1. Wear correctly:

1. Before wearing gloves, make sure your hands are clean to avoid contaminating the inside of the gloves.

2. Wear gloves correctly according to the wearing instructions of the gloves to ensure that the gloves fit tightly to your hands without gaps.

2. Pay attention to the use environment:

1. When using gloves, pay attention to changes in the surrounding environment, such as temperature, humidity, chemicals, etc., to ensure that the performance of the gloves is not affected.

2. Avoid continuing to use gloves after they are damaged or contaminated to avoid increasing the risk of hand injuries.

3. Replace regularly:

According to the service life of the gloves and the intensity of work, replace the gloves regularly to ensure the protective effect.

Maintenance of gloves

1. Regular inspection:

1. Regularly check the integrity of the gloves, such as for damage, cracks, deformation, etc.

2. If the gloves are found to be damaged or the performance is reduced, they should be replaced immediately.

2. Clean and store correctly:

1. Clean according to the material and cleaning instructions of the gloves, and avoid using corrosive detergents.

2. After washing, dry the gloves and store them in a dry, ventilated place, away from direct sunlight and contact with chemicals.

3. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines:

Follow the glove manufacturer's use and maintenance guidelines to ensure the correct use and long-term protection of the gloves.

As an important part of personal protective equipment, gloves need to strictly comply with relevant guidelines and standards in selection, use and maintenance to ensure their protective effect and work efficiency.
