Welding Gloves

Welding Gloves protect a worker from many different workplace threats.  Those welding hazards include arc rays, sharp metal, flying metal, hot objects and parts, electric shock and fire.  The ANSI Z49.1 requirement ensures that welders in any industry wear welding gloves while in the workplace.  It also ensures that the welding glove should be dry and resistant to moisture, with no holes and tears, flame resistant and insulated to protect against electric shock and excessive heat.

Welding gloves should also be comfortable, flexible, durable, cut and puncture resistant and made from material that is healthy and safe for the worker.  Th welding gloves offered vary in material and depending upon the need, the choice of material may vary to protect against the current threat.  Remember to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and follow all instructions when using your welding gloves.
