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 oil and gas, mining and heavy equipment

What are the best gloves for the oil and gas industry? The documents, not a pick: the ISEA Key lists oil and gas at puncture level 5, ANSI/ISEA 138 rates the back-of-hand impact padding at levels 1 to 3, and MCR Safety's Petroleum Professions and Hazards matrix names styles by hazard. This page lists the gloves with a published impact level, the puncture 5 gloves and the ones a manufacturer names, with the reason on each row.

What are impact gloves used for? ANSI/ISEA 138 is the impact standard: it rates the back-of-hand padding (knuckles and fingers) at level 1, 2 or 3 by the mean force transmitted through the pad in the drop test, level 1 at 9 kN or less, level 2 at 6.5 kN or less, level 3 at 4 kN or less. The manufacturers' documents name the work where hands take blows from tools, pipe and parts: oil and gas, mining, demolition, heavy equipment. Pick the Impact chip here to list the gloves with a published impact level.

What is an impact glove? A glove with padding over the knuckles and fingers (TPR, thermoplastic rubber, in most lines) rated under ANSI/ISEA 138 by the mean force transmitted through the pad in the drop test: level 1 at 9 kN or less, level 2 at 6.5 kN or less, level 3 at 4 kN or less. The level is printed on the glove and stated on the product page; the Impact chip on this page lists them.

What are the levels of puncture resistant gloves? ANSI/ISEA 105 puncture levels 0 to 5 come from the EN 388 probe test, by the force in newtons needed to push the probe through the material as the ISEA Key prints them: level 1 at 10 N and above, level 2 at 20 N, level 3 at 60 N, level 4 at 100 N, with level 5 printed as 100 N and above in the Key. The Key's example applications run from paper and light material handling at level 0 to oil and gas, mining, heavy construction and demolition at level 5. Each glove's puncture level is on its row as the manufacturer publishes it.

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.
