When Should Industrial Safety Gloves Be Replaced?

Safety gloves are consumable work equipment. Their usable life depends on the task, the material handled, storage conditions and how often they are worn.

Common replacement signals

• Holes, tears or exposed inner material
• Worn grip patterns or stiffened coatings
• Contamination that cannot be safely removed
• Loss of fit, flexibility or hand control

Set a simple inspection routine so that damaged gloves are removed from use promptly and replacements are available.
