Impact gloves are a type of personal protection equipment (PPE) designed to help prevent hand injuries in work environments with high risks of impact hazards. Industries that are most susceptible to impact injuries include the oil and gas industry, mining, and manufacturing. Many workers are regularly exposed to impact injuries and based on findings by OHSA, 71% of hand injuries could be avoided if suitable PPE was used in the designated work environment. Therefore, workers must be protected with impact-resistant gloves for their daily tasks.
Ansell’s RINGERS® Impact gloves offer maximum safety when it comes to impact risks in the workplace.
These gloves are designed with a signature impact protection system that uses thermoplastic rubber (TPR) which is a key element that helps reduce the impact from hitting the bone. RINGERS® Impact gloves provide not only protection but also are made to optimize dexterity, flexibility, and comfort without compromising protection.
