What are Impact Gloves

Impact gloves are a type of personal protective equipment (PPE) designed to protect the wearer's hands from impact and vibration hazards. These hazards are commonly found in industries such as construction, mining, oil and gas, and manufacturing. Impact gloves typically feature reinforced padding or TPR (thermoplastic rubber) protection in key areas such as the palm, fingers, and knuckles. They may also have anti-vibration properties to reduce the risk of hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS). Impact gloves come in a variety of materials and styles to suit different work environments and hazards.

FAQ

What industries are impact work gloves suitable for?
