Why Regular Glove Checks Matter

Every year, 38% of hand injuries occur due to worn-out gloves that workers didn't realize had expired. At Qingdao Meiji Labor Products Co., Ltd, we've developed this quick 5-minute visual inspection system to help you avoid becoming a statistic.

The 5-Point Glove Health Check

(Perform this assessment with your current gloves on-hand)

1. Surface Inspection (1 minute)

✔ Check for:

* Visible cracks or holes (stretch the material)

* Frayed seams or loose threads

* Discoloration (chemical degradation signs)

2. Grip Test (30 seconds)

✔ Perform:

* Rub thumb and fingers together - should feel textured

* Try picking up a small screw or tool

Danger Sign: If tools slip with normal pressure

3. Flexibility Assessment (1 minute)

✔ Test Motions:

* Make a full fist

* Touch each fingertip to thumb

* Rotate wrist fully

Failure Threshold: >20% reduced mobility

4. Protection-Specific Checks (2 minutes)

5. Age & Usage Log (30 seconds)

✔ Our Recommended Maximums:

* Disposable gloves: 1 shift

* Cut-resistant: 3-6 months

* Chemical-resistant: Varies by exposure
