goSafe Facility Hand Protection Guide

Metal Fabrication Industry

Manipulating metals literally puts workers’ hands in a position for injury regularly. Selecting the right glove for the job depends on the potential hazards, the specifics of the job and the amount of time a worker will need to be exposed to the hazards. In addition to chemical, abrasion, and cut resistance, jobs like foundry casting and melting, forging, stamping, cutting in the press shop, metal working and glass processing pose specific hazards that other industries don’t often need to address. Metal workers also need heat and oil resistance more so than other workers.

For complete hand safety in these settings, try Ansell’s Comacier VHP + (which has the added benefit of leather), Neptune ® , or Vantage ® line of gloves depending on your facili - ties application specifications.
