• Synthetic fibers: Nylon, Polyester, Acrylic, Spandex, etc.
• Basic chemicals: Sulfuric acid, Nitric acid, Sodium hydroxide, Chlorine, etc.
• Household chemicals: Soap, Dishwashing liquid, Floor cleaner, etc.
• Industrial chemicals: Acids, Bases, Solvents, etc.

 

The working environment in the chemical industry has many potential risks of causing occupational accidents due to exposure to toxic chemicals that can easily cause fire and explosion. Therefore, it is necessary to fully equip protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, safety shoes, etc.

Principles of ensuring safety in the chemical industry

In the chemical industry, workers are often exposed to hazardous chemicals that can be harmful to the skin and health. Let's look at some principles to ensure safety in the chemical industry:

 

• Understand the type of chemical being exposed

It is necessary to determine the type of chemical being used, its hazardous properties, as well as measures to prevent and handle incidents.

• Safe storage and transportation

Pay attention to storing chemicals in suitable, fully labeled containers. The storage area must be ventilated, dry, and away from heat sources.

• Use chemicals properly

Only use chemicals for the specified purpose. Workers must comply with the instructions for use and safety procedures, avoiding direct contact with chemicals with the skin or eyes.

 

Safety principles in the chemical industry

 

• Maintaining occupational hygiene

In the chemical industry, it is necessary to keep the work area clean and tidy. When working, spilled chemicals should be cleaned up immediately.

• Full protective equipment

Workers need to be fully equipped with protective equipment such as goggles, protective gloves, and protective clothing to stay safe in the working environment. Using high-quality protective gloves is an essential measure to protect hands from the negative effects of chemicals.

 

Protective gloves in the chemical industry

Important features of protective gloves in the chemical industry:

1. Chemical resistance

Gloves are made from materials that are resistant to specific chemicals that workers will be exposed to. Some common materials include Nitrile rubber, Neoprene, PVC, Butyl, etc.

2. Abrasion resistance

Gloves are durable to resist abrasion, punctures and chemical effects. The thickness of the glove also needs to be considered, ensuring adequate protection while maintaining the necessary flexibility.

3. Grip, anti-slip

Gloves in the chemical industry need good grip to ensure safe and effective operations, especially when in frequent contact with solvents, slippery and wet chemicals.

4. Good heat resistance

Chemicals in industrial environments can react with high heat. Gloves need to be heat resistant to serve workers, avoid wear and tear and damage to the skin of the hands.

5. Create a comfortable feeling when using

Gloves need to fit well and be comfortable so that workers can wear them for a long time without feeling tired or uncomfortable. Gloves should ensure flexibility to perform precise operations.
