Glove Safety Instructions
At North Gloves, safety is our utmost concern. We want to ensure that you use our industrial working gloves properly and responsibly to minimize risks and promote a safe working environment. Please read and adhere to the following warnings and guidelines:
-
Read Instructions: Carefully read and understand all instructions, labels, and warnings provided with the gloves before use. If you have any questions, contact our Customer Service team for clarification.
-
Appropriate Use: Our gloves are designed for specific tasks and environments. Select gloves that are suitable for the type of work you are performing. Using gloves for tasks they are not designed for can result in reduced protection and potential injury.
-
Inspect Before Use: Always inspect gloves for defects, damage, or signs of wear before each use. Do not use gloves with holes, tears, or weakened areas, as they may not provide adequate protection.
-
Proper Fit: Choose the correct glove size for a snug yet comfortable fit. Gloves that are too tight can restrict movement and cause discomfort, while loose gloves can affect dexterity and safety.
-
Chemical Compatibility: When working with chemicals, ensure that the gloves you choose are compatible with the specific substances you are handling. Refer to chemical compatibility charts and follow recommended guidelines.
-
Replace When Worn: Over time, all gloves will wear out. Replace gloves when they show signs of significant wear, loss of elasticity, or when their protective capabilities are compromised.
-
Avoid Contact with Hazardous Materials: While our gloves provide protection, they are not invulnerable. Avoid direct contact with hazardous materials, sharp objects, and moving machinery to prevent injury.
-
Heat and Flame Protection: Some gloves offer heat and flame resistance, but not all are suitable for extreme heat. Verify the glove's heat resistance level and use appropriate gloves for tasks involving heat or flames.
-
Allergic Reactions: Some individuals may be sensitive or allergic to certain glove materials. If you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, such as skin irritation or itching, discontinue use and seek medical attention.
-
Use Under Supervision: Ensure that new or inexperienced users are properly trained in the correct use of the gloves and understand the associated risks.
-
Emergency Situations: In emergency situations, prioritize your safety. If gloves become damaged or hinder your ability to respond effectively, remove them as safely and quickly as possible.
-
Hand Hygiene: Wash your hands thoroughly before putting on gloves to maintain hygiene. Properly clean and sanitize your hands after removing gloves.
-
Not a Substitute for Caution: While our gloves offer protection, they are not a substitute for proper safety procedures, training, or other personal protective equipment (PPE) required for your specific tasks.
By following these warnings and guidelines, you can ensure that your experience with our industrial working gloves is safe and effective.
