How can you ensure your safety while performing your job?

Some fields of work require higher safety regulations. Many fields of work such as medical, industrial, food industry, tattoo shops, and several others rely on disposable gloves for safety.

The type of gloves required depends on the type of work that you do. To ensure you use the glove that's right for your line of work, we put together 7 tips.

Let us break down the materials and uses for each type of disposable gloves.

1. Exam Rooms: Latex Gloves

Latex gloves are better suited for working with water-based and biological materials. They don't work that well with chemicals or solvents.

They are the most affordable of all the disposable type of gloves available. It makes them the most common gloves for exam rooms since they are often sold in bulk.

Surgeons trust latex gloves due to their biological material resistance.

It's important to note some people suffer from latex allergies, so there should always be another glove alternative besides latex. The allergic reaction might cause a skin rash.

If you're mostly going to use latex gloves, make sure your staff or patients are not allergic.

Latex gloves should also be used properly to prevent tears and contamination.

2. Janitorial Work: Vinyl Gloves

Vinyl gloves are usually economical and available for work that requires multiple changes. You can get vinyl gloves in powder-free versions.

Since their disposable use is so common, people from the food industry use them often. They're not equipped to perform heavy or hazardous tasks.

Janitorial teams often use them when light, non-hazardous cleaning is required. The gloves aren't resistant to harsh chemicals or bodily fluids.

3. Food Industry: Nitrile Gloves

Nitrile gloves are a suitable option for medical professionals to use for examinations. They are also used for laboratory research and food prep because of their strong resistance to oils and acids.

They are available in reusable and disposable versions. This type of gloves is strong and puncture resistant, but they offer limited flexibility. Their lack of flexibility means professionals should use them with care.

Which Type of Gloves Do You Prefer?

There are many glove options for any type of job. Picking the right one is about preference and proper material selection.

What You Should Know About Disposable Gloves

While disposable gloves are often used in a medical or industrial setting, they also have many uses around the home and workplace that don't involve touching a patient in an exam room or a specimen in a lab. In order to see which gloves performed the best, we put them through a series of experiments.   •  Durability  —We took a box cutter to each glove, and determined its durability by rating how easy it was to slice through the glove material. •  Resistance to tearing  —One the glove had a slice in it, we added weights that hung from the torn glove to see how much weight it would take for the glove to be torn apart when it was already damaged. •  Temperature resistance  —After setting the water temperature to "uncomfortably hot", we stuck our glove-covered hands under the water to see how long it took for us to actually feel the burn. •  Chemical resistance  —With most disposable gloves, if you get some sort of chemical (like a heavy-duty cleaning agent) on them, after a

The Best Guide to Textured Gloves

    The inner surface of your gloves needs to be smooth and comfortable. Have you ever thought about the glove’s outer surface? Textured gloves happen to have a rough outer surface. What are textured gloves? Have you ever examined the outer surface of a glove and noticed indentations? I am sure you have. These are what we call textured gloves.  Unlike regular gloves, they have patterns on their outer surface. These patterns can be straight lines, sand-like exteriors, dots, or geometrical shapes. Thus, you will find that there are 3 types of gloves: smooth, micro-roughened, and aggressively textured. So, let’s differentiate between the three types. Micro-roughened gloves This type of texture is most common in manufacturing latex and nitrile gloves. Micro-roughened nitrile gloves constitute 95% of manufactured nitrile gloves. These gloves will look as if they have tiny sand particles on their outer surface.  Thus, this provides a moderate option between smooth gloves and aggressively tex
