Questions people ask about gloves for roofing
What kind of gloves do roofers use? The only source we use is the manufacturer's own application list: the gloves on this page are the styles PIP names for roofing in its workbook. The ISEA Key does not list roofing at any cut or puncture level, so there is no rated group here. Grip and coating are the manufacturer's statements on each product page.
What gloves do you need for construction? 29 CFR 1910.138(b) answers it with a method, not a glove: the employer bases the selection on the tasks, the conditions, the duration of use and the hazards identified in the 1910.132(d) hazard assessment. The ISEA Key lists construction and general purpose work at cut level A1 and construction at puncture levels 1 to 5 depending on the task, and the manufacturers name specific styles for construction in their own documents; the construction and general labor page lists both sets, with the reason each glove is there on its row.
What are some good waterproof gloves for construction work? Waterproof is a coating question in the manufacturers' documents: a full-dip coating (PVC, nitrile or latex over the whole hand) keeps liquid out, a palm-dip keeps the back of the hand breathable and lets water in from the back, and the product page states which one a glove has. Use the Coating pick-list here to narrow the list to fully coated or PVC coated gloves; the product page is where the manufacturer states what the coating resists.
Which gloves have the most grip? Grip is a coating finish in the manufacturers' documents, not a rated number: sandy or crinkle nitrile and crinkle latex are published for wet and oily grip, foam nitrile for light oil, smooth PU for dry grip, and PVC with a rough finish for slick wet surfaces. The Coating pick-list and the Wet or oily grip chip narrow this list by the published coating; which finish fits the surface is the user's call.
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.
