Fingerless Finisher Work Gloves
Being a cement/concrete worker, sometimes called a finisher, can be a very difficult job. There are a wide variety of tasks that go into preparing a site, laying down materials and making it look professional.
Many of these require using an assortment of hand and power tools, as well as other construction equipment. This makes choosing proper hand protection (anti-vibration gloves) an important decision in planning any concrete project.
Concrete work involves a lot of hard, physical labor. A concrete worker may find themselves:
- Operating a sledge hammer or jackhammer to break up previously existing materials
- Digging trenches and removing debris with a shovel
- Carrying a wheelbarrow that weighs hundreds of pounds
- Placing or stripping concrete forms
- Installing rebar to add tensile strength to concrete
- Using a hand float to smooth out poured cement
- Smoothing over wet cement with a placer, spreader or rake
- Cutting a construction joint or pressure relief groove to prevent cracking from expansion or contraction due to moisture or temperature change
All of these tasks come with the risk of a serious workplace accident and many pose the very real threat of repetitive-use injuries. For example, when a worker has prolonged exposure to repetitive impacts or vibrations, they are susceptible to getting hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) or carpal tunnel syndrome. This is a serious medical condition that is irreversible once it has set in.
To adequately protect themselves from injury, concrete workers need versatile hand protection. Gloves that provide dexterity yet fit well and keep your hands warm so that they do not impede circulation are ideal. They should also be designed with anti-vibration features if possible. The gloves should be designed just like Vibrastop™ Half-Finger Gloves from Superior Glove®.
