The Truth About Work Gloves

By Sherry Gross


It is no contest that the pair of hands is one of the most important part of the human body. It allows man to do certain functions. It allows him to create new things. It serves to make everyday living easier and more independent.

The hands can also express what one wants to say. This is true especially in the special case of the deaf mute. Because they cannot hear nor speak, they just rely on their hands to do the sign language, which is the universal language of the people with hearing disabilities. The blind also benefits by using their fingers to be able to read. They run their fingers over a series of raised dots, in true Braille fashion. Due to its integral part, it is essential that they are kept from harm with the use of work gloves.

A glove is a garment that is used to cover the whole hand. Usually they have distinct sheaths for every finger. They have been used for so many years, even as early as the time of the ancient Greeks. They came to be most popular in the 16th century, when Parisian women started using them as a fashion ornament. By the time of Queen Elizabeth I, these were encrusted with precious gems or made entirely out of lace, silk, or linen.

Today, they do not only serve fashion purposes. There are various kinds of gloves to perfectly suit every need. There are even peculiar designs such as the fingerless variety that does not have coverings for the fingers, as only the palm is being covered. This weird design is actually beneficial for those who play musical instruments such as the piano because the plain ones can get in the way when you try to play a particularly fast piece.

The people in the medical use gloves as a staple part of their medical garb. They are often disposable for sanitary reasons. This way, you can be assured of a more sterile environment which is essential in such situations.

They are also very important in the world of sports. In baseball, a special variety called catchers mitt is used to catch the ball. Boxers also use them in all of their matches. The special padding inside each glove may give the impression of an oversized mitten, but it provides extra precaution to cushion every blow. Archers also use them as a protection from cuts that drawing the bowstring can incur.

Animal handlers, especially those who work with animals that can attack them with sharp claws and beaks use a sturdy type made from the strongest leather. It is also of utmost importance in falconry. The razor sharp talons of the bird can cut through the arm when the bird perches on top of it, so it is very important that a falconer uses a special hand covering especially when training a bird.

It is also a very important part of the fireman ensemble. Their gauntlets protect their hands and arms from burns. This makes them able to work better in the face of fire.

For those who work with their hands all the time to do hard labor, their hands are more vulnerable to the development of splinters and blisters. This is why gloves are important, especially when you work with thorny plants or masonry work. You also need a pair when you happen to work with electrical wiring.
