What the rule says

Each entry is condensed from the paragraph cited; the paragraph itself is the rule and the link opens it.

29 CFR 1910.138(b): Selection: employers base the selection of hand protection on an evaluation of its performance characteristics relative to the tasks to be performed, the conditions present, the duration of use, and the hazards and potential hazards identified.

29 CFR 1910.138(a): General requirements: employers select and require the use of appropriate hand protection when hands are exposed to hazards such as skin absorption of harmful substances, severe cuts or lacerations, severe abrasions, punctures, chemical burns, thermal burns, and harmful temperature extremes.

29 CFR 1910.132(d)(1): Hazard assessment: the employer assesses the workplace to determine whether hazards are present, or likely to be present, that necessitate the use of personal protective equipment, and selects PPE that will protect the affected employee from the hazards identified.

Cal/OSHA Title 8 §3384(a): Hand protection: employers select, provide and require employees to use appropriate hand protection when hands are exposed to hazards such as skin absorption of harmful substances, cuts or lacerations, abrasions, punctures, chemical burns, thermal burns, radioactive materials, and harmful temperature extremes; §3384(b): hand protection is not worn where it could be caught in moving machinery or materials.

Questions people ask about gloves for assembly, inspection and small parts

What gloves to use for electronics? The manufacturers publish three kinds: ESD (electrostatic discharge) gloves knit with carbon or copper fiber whose surface resistance is published so a charge drains through a grounded wrist path, inspectors gloves (lint-free cotton or nylon) for handling finished parts without marks, and PU-coated nylon gloves for dry grip on small parts. The type pick-list on this page narrows to each.

What are ESD gloves used for? For work inside an electrostatic discharge control program (ANSI/ESD S20.20): the glove's conductive or dissipative fiber lets a charge on the hand drain through a grounded path instead of jumping to a component. The manufacturer publishes the surface resistance of the glove; it is on the product page and is what makes the glove an ESD glove.

Are nitrile gloves ESD safe? Only when the manufacturer states it. Ordinary nitrile is an insulator and holds a charge; an ESD or static-dissipative nitrile glove is a different formulation whose surface resistance the manufacturer publishes. Read the product page for the resistance figure; without it, a nitrile glove is not rated for ESD work.

What are the different cut resistance levels for gloves? ANSI/ISEA 105 rates cut resistance A1 to A9 by the grams of force it took a straight blade to cut through the material at 20 mm of travel in the ASTM F2992 test: A1 200 to 499 g, A2 500 to 999 g, A3 1,000 to 1,499 g, A4 1,500 to 2,199 g, A5 2,200 to 2,999 g, A6 3,000 to 3,999 g, A7 4,000 to 4,999 g, A8 5,000 to 5,999 g, A9 6,000 g and above. The level on each glove is the manufacturer's published test result; the cut-level pick-list on this page groups the gloves by it.

What is PU coating on gloves? Polyurethane, a thin palm coat on light knit gloves (nylon, polyester, HPPE) that the manufacturers publish for dexterity, dry grip and low lint, which is why it is common on assembly, inspection and packaging gloves. It is thinner than nitrile and not published for oils. The coating is on each row here and the Coating pick-list narrows to it.

Which is better, polyurethane or nitrile gloves? The manufacturers describe them, not rank them. Polyurethane (PU) is the thin palm coat on light-duty and precision gloves: good feel, dry grip, low lint. Nitrile is thicker and the manufacturers publish it for wet and oily grip (foam and sandy nitrile finishes) and for oil and abrasion resistance. The coating is on each row here, and the Coating pick-list narrows to either one.
