When last have you reviewed your glove program?

When was the last time you reviewed your glove program? 

Not just as a checklist, but by really thinking about the people wearing them. 

Choosing the right pair of gloves depends on the work being done. Different environments require different types of protection, and the wrong glove can limit both safety and productivity.

For example:

• Cut-resistant gloves for machining, fabrication, and sharp materials
• Heat-resistant gloves for welding or high-temperature operations
• Chemical-resistant gloves for laboratory work or cleaning tasks
• Grip-enhanced gloves for logistics, material handling, and warehouse work

When selecting safety gloves, it's important to consider material, thickness, comfort, dexterity, and certification. The best gloves protect workers without limiting their ability to perform the job safely and efficiently.

When reviewing your glove program, ask a few simple questions:

• Do your people have the right gloves for the job?
• Are worn pairs being verified and replaced when necessary?
• Do workers feel confident in their hand protection?
• Are they warm enough to keep hands dexterous in a Prairie winter?
