Training Objectives

Execute pre-use inspections to detect tears, stiffness, or chemical degradation
Identify "rotational hazard" scenarios where wearing gloves is strictly prohibited

Course Overview

The wrong glove can be just as dangerous as no glove at all.

A fabric glove might stop a splinter, but it will melt onto your skin in a chemical spill. This training short ensures you know exactly which barrier to put between your hands and the hazard. We explore the specific defensive properties of leather, metal mesh, and chemical-resistant rubber, teaching you that "thicker" usually means "safer" when dealing with liquids.

But safety isn't just about what you wear; it's about what you don't wear. We address the critical "rotational hazard" rule: why wearing gloves near a power saw or lathe can lead to catastrophic amputation injuries. Watch this video to master the selection, inspection, and safe use of your most important tools, your hands.

No Worries. Here’s Some Helpful Info.

What are three severe hazards that hand and arm protection guards against?


Hand and arm protection guards against severe hazards such as fractures, chemical or thermal burns, and amputations.


Why is it essential to use gloves specifically designed for the workplace task?


Gloves must be specifically designed for the task because a glove appropriate for one function may not protect against a different hazard, even if it appears suitable.


What type of glove protects against both cuts and sustained heat?


Sturdy gloves made of leather or canvas protect against cuts, burns, and sustained heat.


How does the thickness of a chemical-resistant glove relate to its performance?


As a general rule, a thicker chemical-resistant glove material offers greater chemical resistance.


When should a worker consult the equipment manufacturer’s guidelines regarding gloves?


Workers must consult manufacturer guidelines when operating certain open equipment with rotating parts, as wearing gloves might increase the risk of the hand being pulled in.
