Though the acronym PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) may have been first introduced to you during the coronavirus pandemic, this in fact refers to any equipment which serves the purpose of protecting your body from harm – not just the plastic face masks which have become a common sight from 2020 onwards. Employees within many professions require PPE on a daily basis, with requirements as varied as sturdy reinforced helmets, to ironclad boots and plastic goggles. Today’s focus will be on waterproof gloves, and how these versatile accessories are ideal for all manner of professions. With multi-use and durable waterproof gloves available from MTS Trade Supplies, buy in bulk to satisfy your entire workforce, or pick up construction gloves, materials and other trade supplies from our online catalogue.
Continue reading for just several of the professions in which waterproof gloves are essential, and the benefits to be found from investing in a pair for your workplace.
Why Waterproof?
One of the main benefits found when wearing gloves on-site is the additional grip that they provide, especially useful when lifting heavy objects or climbing a surface. Oils and liquids making contact with traditional workman gloves will affect grip negatively, making the surface of such PPE become slippery and less effective. As well as offsetting this problem, waterproof work gloves can be used in all weather conditions, and lightweight materials make for improved flexibility.
Bricklayers
Bricklayers will have to work in a variety of conditions, from hot Summer days, to drizzly Winter mornings. The build-up of condensation on gloves, or repeated interaction with wet surfaces can quickly see water leaking through to your bare skin, making for an unpleasant experience. Waterproof work gloves will protect your hands from leakage, retaining grip for carrying bags of cement mix and using tools with complete accuracy.
Landscape Gardeners
Come rain or shine, landscape gardeners will be responsible for the maintenance of a visually-pleasing garden space, and gloves which are not only durable, but also resistant against weather conditions are ideal. Available to buy in bulk from MTS Trade Supplies, we even stock tools and equipment, so save money by purchasing your new toolbox or appliance set online.
Cold Storage Workers
Having to adjust to freezing temperatures and work in chilly conditions, cold storage workers will most definitely need gloves made of reinforced waterproof material. Alongside equipment for hand protection, common protective accessories for cold storage workers may include valved masks.
