In industrial work environments, hands are at high risk due to direct contact with equipment, machinery, and materials used in production processes. The primary mechanical hazards encountered in these settings include abrasion, cutting, tearing, puncture, and impact. Exposure to such physical effects can lead to both short-term injuries and long-term labor losses and workplace accidents. In particular, hand protection has become a critical priority for workers in sectors such as metalworking, as

Welding operations are among industrial activities that involve multiple hazards, including high temperatures, molten metal splashes, sparks, and intense radiation (ultraviolet and infrared). During these operations, workers are at risk of serious burns, punctures, cuts, or heat-induced skin damage due to direct physical contact with welding equipment handled by hand. Therefore, gloves used by welders as part of their personal protective equipment must provide protection not only against high te
