Why Should You Use Work Gloves

By Sherry Gross


It is no contest that the pair of hands is one of the most important part of the human body. It allows man to do certain functions. It allows him to create new things. It serves to make everyday living easier and more independent.

It is also very important as a means of expression. With a simple movement, the hands can express what he or she cannot say. It is most important for those who cannot hear and talk to be able to communicate, and they do so with the use of their hands. It is also used by the blind to somehow get idea about his or her surroundings. Due to its many uses, it should always be protected. One way to do this is through 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.

There are many different kinds of gloves. First off, there is the fingerless design that is mostly used by people who rely of sheer finger dexterity where the usual glove would just provide restrictions. These are often used by organists and people who play all kinds of musical instruments. Gauntlets, on the other hand, are off a very old design that dates back to the middle ages. This type extends all the way up to mid arm.

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 a staple commodity in most sports. The catcher of a particular team uses a baseball glove to catch the ball. Archers also use gloves to provide maximum support. Perhaps the most famous sports gloves are those used in boxing. They often resemble inflated mittens. They are padded to protect the fists of the boxer and to cushion the blows, or else they will incur more serious wounds and other related injuries.

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.

Gloves are also used to protect your hands when doing important work. Firemen have special gauntlets to protect their hands and arms from burns. Rubber gloves are also used when one works with dirt, such as working in the garden.

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.
