Choosing the Perfect Extreme Heat Resistant Gloves

admin by admin
July 26, 2022
in Safety


Extreme heat can be many workers’ bread-and-(melted)-butter, but it should never be underestimated. Proper safety precautions, such as PPE, are essential to avoid injury. Here at Elliotts we offer a wide range of contact heat resistant gloves and radiant heat resistant gloves, each perfectly suited for different types of danger. No matter what type of heat hazard you deal with in your workplace, we have a product for your situation.

How to Choose a Glove Style

Not every type of heat resistance is built for the same context. Some gloves are better for long contact with heat, while others are designed to handle boiling liquids. Choosing the right type is important and, to help you keep safe, we’ve designed this simple checklist to consider:

 

What type of heat are you dealing with?

–       Contact heat?

o   Will you be in direct contact with the hazard?

–       Convective heat?

o   Will the air around the hazard be hot?

–       Radiant heat?

o   Will you be very close to the hazard?

–       Molten metal splash protection?

o   Is molten metal being poured?

Heat Resistant Gloves - MagnaShield Aluminised Preox with Woven Kevlar Palmo   Is there a possibility of spills?

–       Moist heat?

o   Is the hazard a liquid?

o   Is the hazard covered in liquid?

 

What level of heat are you dealing with?

–       Temperature of environment?

–       Temperature of tools/equipment/handled items?

 

Heat Resistant Gloves - MagnaShield Aramid GlovesWhat other elements require protection?

–       Handling abrasive materials?

–       Handling blades/sharp objects?

–       Handling items that could tear the glove?

–       Handling objects that can puncture the glove?

 

What are the conditions?

–       What are the tasks?

–       What tools/equipment are being handled and for how long?

–       What level of dexterity is needed?

–       How long are you working for?

ChemVex NX50 Heat and Chemical Gloves–       What other protection do you need to wear?

–       How long should the protection be?

o   Do you need forearms covered?
