What You Need To Know About Work Gloves

By Sherry Gross


The human hand is a very important part of the anatomy. This could very well be our advantage over the other animal species that are found in nature. The hands allow one to do many things and accomplish more work. Going through daily life activities is made easier and simpler with the use of our hands.

The hands can also express what one wants to say. This is true especially in the special case of the deaf mute. Because they cannot hear nor speak, they just rely on their hands to do the sign language, which is the universal language of the people with hearing disabilities. The blind also benefits by using their fingers to be able to read. They run their fingers over a series of raised dots, in true Braille fashion. Due to its integral part, it is essential that they are kept from harm with the use of work gloves.

A glove is a garment that is used to cover the whole hand. Usually they have distinct sheaths for every finger. They have been used for so many years, even as early as the time of the ancient Greeks. They came to be most popular in the 16th century, when Parisian women started using them as a fashion ornament. By the time of Queen Elizabeth I, these were encrusted with precious gems or made entirely out of lace, silk, or linen.

Today, they do not only serve fashion purposes. There are various kinds of gloves to perfectly suit every need. There are even peculiar designs such as the fingerless variety that does not have coverings for the fingers, as only the palm is being covered. This weird design is actually beneficial for those who play musical instruments such as the piano because the plain ones can get in the way when you try to play a particularly fast piece.

They also come in a special disposable type. These disposable ones are made for use in the hospital setting. They are used by doctors and medical staff during operations. These are sterilized for health reasons.

They are also very important in the world of sports. In baseball, a special variety called catchers mitt is used to catch the ball. Boxers also use them in all of their matches. The special padding inside each glove may give the impression of an oversized mitten, but it provides extra precaution to cushion every blow. Archers also use them as a protection from cuts that drawing the bowstring can incur.

Animal handlers, especially those who work with animals that can attack them with sharp claws and beaks use a sturdy type made from the strongest leather. It is also of utmost importance in falconry. The razor sharp talons of the bird can cut through the arm when the bird perches on top of it, so it is very important that a falconer uses a special hand covering especially when training a bird.

Gauntlets or those that extend up to the arm are used by firemen when they respond to fire alerts. They protect the upper extremities from getting burned. They also protect the arms from too much heat.

These are also used to reduces the chances of getting splinters and blisters from too much friction. This is why those who work for masonry use them. It is also standard equipment for those who work for a construction project.
