Amidst the struggle to protect major notable parts of the
body, hand’s safety is often ignored. Here we are talking in the context of
fire fighter’s safety. But, more often than not, hand protection during the
process of firefighting is of chief importance. Prickling, burns and other wounds
pertaining to the hand, though diminished over the years, still constitute a
significant fraction of all fire ground injuries. Where there are complaints
about the different elements of the Personal
Protective Equipment, gloves usually are been questioned.
There are general complaints that notify these gloves being
too bulky to handle or too restrictive on hand movements. As a matter of fact
it many times affects the productivity rate of the fire workers.
SOS Fire Safety completely takes care of all the aforesaid
aspects in order to offer the finest usability to its fire warriors. Let’s have
a glance to explore the best features of SOS safety gloves:
Components of Fire fighting
gloves:
A synthetic polymer knit material known as a modacrylic is
often used for the glove thermal lining because it is flame-resistant and a
good insulator. Kevlar or Nomex, employed to make a variety of clothing,
accessories, and equipment safe and cut resistant may also be used for the
thermal barrier.
Gloves use the similar principle as that of stratifying
materials applied to dresses and clothing. Structural firefighting gloves engage
the same functional three-layer construction as turnout gear.
Protection:
For Safety Gloves,
there is a shell, which may be either leather or textile, inside which is a
moisture obstruction or barrier layer that may be breathable. Waterproof
barrier defends against blood-borne pathogens and provides critical protection
from hazardous liquids.
Apart from thermal protective heat, it also ensures the
presence of high-performance fibers with unsurpassed levels of heat blocking
burn protection.
Enhanced
Dexterity:
Its superior
design provides following attractive features:
- For the sake of better fit;
