Impact Hazards You Might Recognize

Oil Rig Worker with D3O Gloves
  • Struck-by by objects in motion, whether moving, swinging, flying, or falling
  • Repair and Demolition work
  • Construction site and rig site clearing
  • Use of mobile equipment
  • Heavy material handling and heavy loads being moved
  • Falling overhead objects and falling unsecure materials
  • Connections breaking free from high pressure lines
  • Working with heavy spinning chains, heavy pipes and overall heavy equipment
  • Improper use of tools that are loose and cracked, eventually breaking apart
  • Working in close quarters, where pinch points are common

You must understand that these hazards are real and are a serious threat to one’s safety. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reveals that 76% of hand injuries occur due to cuts and crushes. An individual or company should not choose a protective glove entirely around the unit cost. Instead, they need to take into the account the physical hazards workers face.

Up until 2008, there were very few impact gloves available, which meant workers could only choose general-purpose gloves for extremely hazardous working conditions. Fortunately though, times are a changing and industries are catching on. More options are available to workers and innovation is driving many new impact gloves. We encourage you to read our most recent blog, which discusses more of the reasons behind Industry acceptance of impact gloves:
