Oil rig workers’ hands are at risk from various dangers such as cuts, abrasions, chemical exposure, and extreme temperatures. Proper hand protection ensures both safety and dexterity when handling equipment or materials.
For UAE oil rig workers, gloves should provide:
- Heat resistance for handling hot tools or equipment.
- Chemical resistance for protection against hazardous substances.
- Cut resistance for protection when handling sharp materials.
- Enhanced grip for handling slippery objects, especially in wet or oily conditions.
In the UAE’s extreme heat, it’s important to choose gloves made from breathable materials that promote airflow and prevent excessive sweating.
