COMMON IMPACT HAZARDS

· ANSI/ISEA 138 is the leading North American standard for evaluating back-of-hand impact protection.

· It measures how effectively the TPR guards reduce transmitted impact force and classifies gloves into different performance levels.

· This standard helps users compare impact protection objectively and choose gloves suitable for demanding industrial applications.

· TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) impact guards are engineered to absorb and distribute impact energy before it reaches the hand.

· Their segmented design allows the glove to remain flexible while protecting vulnerable areas such as the knuckles and fingers.

· This combination helps reduce the severity of impact injuries without restricting normal hand movement.

· No. Impact gloves are designed to reduce the risk and severity of impact injuries, but they cannot eliminate every hazard.

· Protection depends on the force, angle of impact and working conditions.

· For complete hand protection, users should select gloves that combine impact protection with cut resistance, grip or abrasion resistance according to their specific application.

· Impact protection gloves are commonly used in oil & gas, mining, heavy equipment maintenance, construction, utility work and industrial manufacturing.

· Workers handling heavy tools, steel pipes, machinery or large components benefit from additional back-of-hand protection to reduce injury risks and improve workplace safety.

· TravMora™ Impact Protection Technology is developed to provide dependable back-of-hand protection while maintaining flexibility and working comfort.

· By combining ergonomic TPR impact guards with durable glove construction, TravMora™ helps reduce impact injuries in demanding industrial environments.

· When paired with GripVanta™, DuralVanta™ or VarioNova™, it delivers a more complete hand protection solution for professional users.
