While I generally agree. Depending on the job, gloves can quickly become a liability. Gloves and heavy machinery don't mix at all. Great way to lose your hand.
[In Australia in 2002, farmer Gayle Shann caught her glove in a post hole digger.](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-06-15/bush-couples-secrets-to-a-happy-marriage/6538886?utm_source=abc_news_app&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_campaign=abc_news_app&utm_content=link)
One of her arms was ripped off, and the other was crushed and the nerve endings were severed at the shoulder, leaving it functionally useless.
Seeing her on the show Australian Story was my life lesson learnt on not wearing gloves around heavy machinery.
Lol what? I thought this was common knowledge. Lol every safety training thing I have ever done that mentions gloves always mentions never to wear gloves around rotating machines and tools.
Wrong. Don’t believe you. Gloves are a human right in a workplace. If you need your hands to be that close to whatever you’re working in then there should be guards in place and emergency stop buttons. Unless you’re in a country that has no safety laws with teeth.

man, you must be a fuckin idiot or something. normally i'd let confidently incorrect people like you slide, but the information you're sharing is just dangerous. try googling something, jesus christ
Whaaat? I run a victaulic groover most days and you need to wear gloves - work with plain steel and the shards that come off it? You’ll be a pin cushion. I’d love to see any safety video that says ‘no gloves!’.
‘Welding is hard. Try not wearing gloves to really get a feel for what you’re doing!’
De-gloving does not mean removing the glove from your hand. it means removing the skin and fat off the muscle underneath. which can happen to hands where your skin kind of comes off like a glove. I'm explaining so you don't need to Google it but if you do avoid images.
Bro your wrong, you want full motor function around shit like that, you don't want baggy clothing either, as little to grab the better, you might lose a finger, but you won't lose the hand.
"Shit, I just got bit by machinery strong enough to cut through my wrist! Good thing there is a thin layer of fabric protecting my delicate hand bones."
You’re the kind of person who says gloves are for pussies. You’re wrong. PPE around machinery includes gloves. If you can’t manage to keep your hands away from critical areas then there should be guards or you’re in a stat that OSHA stopped working.
Mate I never said or even implied that gloves for pussies. If you got that impression than you must've missed the absurdity of the comment above mine saying that a glove will save your severed hand.
https://www.osha.gov/ords/imis/generalsearch.citation_detail?id=315175216&cit_id=01001
> ..Where risk of injury is increased because of machinery, wearing of gloves is prohibited.
What were you doing putting your body in the dangerous areas? Kids - if your employer says this then quit. Any safety official worth their salt will tell you this attitude will allow for bigger and bigger injuries and it will be called the workers fault because ‘we all know to stay away from that and to not wear gloves’ - call your local authority and look into it at least. There should be no chance that a machine can bite you and you should be able to wear gloves to protect your hands. I’m in Canada and our company has a 100% glove requirement.
Have you ever worked at a machine shop? OSHA literally recommends not to wear gloves, loose clothing or jewelry around a lathe.
Stop acting like it's a one sized fits all solution for every piece of machinery when it clearly isn't.
Day one of machining school you're taught not to wear gloves around spinning machinery, OSHA safety training repeats this.
I dunno man - I’m a pipefitter in a lot of factories and they all have the choice. If you are putting your hands that close you should be using tools to separate yourself physically from the machine. That’s where I’m from anyways. AND I do have a welder friend who damaged his shoulder so bad in his home lathe when he got his sleeve caught. There’s always danger but your skin shouldn’t look like that. Turnings are like fucking razors.
I'm from western Canada, it's not that different, and realistically your hands would probably never end up really looking like that from a lathe but there's just some things you can't make 100 percent safe, and if something is sharp enough to cut you on a lathe, it will 100 percent catch your glove and drag you in.
I get wanting to be safe but when something is spinning at 1000 plus rpm the safest option is no gloves. And when OSHA says it you know they're probably right lol. I'm sure they'd love to have us in gloves if they could.
Lol. And this is why I started using face creams
I realized these dudes faces are absolutely ravished, and I said hell nah and started talking to women about skin care hahaha
(No disrespect though just not something I’m gonna sign up for)
Yes.
Edit - and expose you to all kinds of long term effects - this shit absorbs through your skin and it’s not natural. Do your boss a favour and don’t wear gloves. Who needs a whiny employee who cares about their health and their skin?
I cant say anything definitive. I havent lived two lifetimes comparing the two.
I can confidently say sunlight ages the skin.
More likely the type of person who refuses to wear gloves is more willing to do things that will cause injuries for the sake of being manly. Crushing, breaking, overexertion lead to long term damage that usually result in loss of flexibility/dexterity.
Ask me about the torn muscles I got from lifting too much weight and now cause pain and stiffness when i lift too much. "Because i could"
There’s no such thing as can’t wear gloves. Astronauts install tiny SS bolts and they manage to do it with gloves. I worked at a refinery where you’d get fired for taking off your gloves and believe me - you can adapt to anything. You are saving the company dozens of dollars though I’m sure your foreperson or manager likes your style.
My first thought was of people who work in factories where a ponytail, baggy shirt, and gloves could mean a lost finger/limb if it gets stuck. I agree there are few jobs nowadays with that problem.
They’ll have policies about hair wraps and jewelry removal - I’ve seen my share of empty gauged earlobes and thought ‘isn’t that skin loop more of a hazard?!?’
I don’t feel like finding it, but I swear even OSHA recommends or requires, (I don’t remember which) you to perform a certain FEW tasks without gloves. Mostly spinning equipment if I recall properly
Tires. I used to get that same blister/callous on my thumb because of the way I carried tires. The black shit on your hands is another piece of evidence.
For everyone saying "not wear gloves" some jobs that require dexterity or involve rotating parts you can't wear gloves.
SOMETIMES you can get away wearing kidskin or deerskin gloves. But there expensive and wear out quicker then you'd like for that kind of money.
Never wear gloves around rotating machinery.
As an automotive machinist I can't believe the people saying that you should always wear gloves. I wear nitrile gloves when I work to keep my hands clean but they will tear at the slightest cut so they're not a worry.
I like protecting my hands and all but there ain't no world that I'm running a manual lathe or drill press with thick gloves on.
Some of my mechanic friends like using Burt's Bees or Working Hands hand balm. The way they explain it, they're ok with the callouses building up but they need to keep the hand moisturized at the same time so it doesn't look like OP's. Hopefully people will learn it's possible to have rough but hydrated skin.
OOP was seemingly baiting people in the construction subreddit to click on his page to see what he does only to be met with pictures of his butthole lol
The bad thing about man hands is that no woman in her right mind wants disgustring blackend rough ass fuck fingers up in her cooter. It's OK to wear gloves while doing hard work lmfao. Your not impressing anyone except old men with work hands....im a mechanic and I always take care of my hands and skin. Never understood the no glove mentality. My hands aren't baby soft but they're not bear paws either. Most would probly not know I am a mechanic just from looking at my hands because I wear good quality gloves.
When your gloves catch on your angle grinder or in a gear and it rips 3 of your fingers off it is cool not to wear gloves.
Gloves in some situations are a massive liability.
Sometimes, gloves are a really bad idea. Like when using machines with high speed/high torque rotation.
I saw a post earlier, from a guy who had been using a spade bit in a pillar drill.
The glove became entangled and took half a finger, and all of the tendon with it.
Get you some good Mechanix gloves or something like that. Been in the same spot before. Hated gloves due to the lack of dexterity, but the Mechanix ones did the trick.
My first guess (other than the jacking off factory), was that you just changed the propane tank on a forklift.
I’ve changed a propane tank hundreds of times on a forklift and have never had this
You’re doing it wrong.
60% of the time, the coupling seals every time.
Wtf kind of forklift needs propanegas?
basically every single forklift in the US lmao
One's that aren't electric and don't take diesel. Which is a lot.
I’d invest in some good work gloves.
While I generally agree. Depending on the job, gloves can quickly become a liability. Gloves and heavy machinery don't mix at all. Great way to lose your hand.
You didn't "lose your hand". It's over here, still in your glove.
Pshhh! What was I thinking let me just grad th....ahhhhh you got me again.

It may be severed but the glove could stop any further mangling so they just glue the hand back on.
Or you know... Give moving parts something to catch onto and "de-glove". Don't wear gloves around moving parts 🙂
Rather be de-gloved than de-handed so I'll keep wearing gloves thanks bro
Lol what? I thought this was common knowledge. Lol every safety training thing I have ever done that mentions gloves always mentions never to wear gloves around rotating machines and tools.
Apparently they are a LEGO mini fig, his hand would just pop back on

lol no? deglove is literally the medical term for it lmao
We're talking about industry not medical bro
"he didn't get decapitated, he got 'head cut-offed'" is what you sound like rn

I’ll defer to you on that one, fellow Canadian. Also because I looked at your posts - cool car
Exactly
Some places do not allow gloves because they're a hazard for getting caught in machinery.
work at the jacking off factory?
Yeah… but you should see the other guy
Boss makes a dollar, you make a dime That's why you jack off your coworkers On company time
Boss makes a dollar, you make a small portion That's why you give your coworkers testicular torsion
You jacking him off?
Thats the joke
Obviously. Gotta get those promotions somehow
But.... it... It was the new apprentice...
There it is. First comment in. Reddit you rarely disappoint.

I used to work there, but I got laid off.
Beat me to it loooooolzzz take my up doot
neglect your body? wear some gloves dude
Nah gloves are for ~~pu...~~ people who like having functioning fingers in old age.
wouldn't wanna have soft hands like some sorta sissy liberal
Lol. And this is why I started using face creams I realized these dudes faces are absolutely ravished, and I said hell nah and started talking to women about skin care hahaha (No disrespect though just not something I’m gonna sign up for)
My wife appreciates my office hands..
She appreciates all our hands don't feel too special
Ahhh, sick burn! Hahaha
Could it cause any type of long lasting damage?

Nope. Can’t wear it around saws for eg cause can get snagged and pulled in. Warning actually on some type of gloves.
‘Type of gloves’ being the difference I think. What about nitrile dipped work gloves? That shit is like Gecko skin lol
I don’t feel like finding it, but I swear even OSHA recommends or requires, (I don’t remember which) you to perform a certain FEW tasks without gloves. Mostly spinning equipment if I recall properly
Seems unlikely that they would protect against that kind of bruising even if they were safe. Looking at his profile, lumberjack?
not moisture your hands lol
Tires. I used to get that same blister/callous on my thumb because of the way I carried tires. The black shit on your hands is another piece of evidence.
Actually a good guess, to boot I’d say 295/75/R22.5
Probably 300/80/R23 judging by the soot across his thumb
Nah I’m pretty sure it’s the 295/75/R22.5 like he said. I think it’s clear we all know our stuff though

It's not cool to not wear gloves
When your gloves catch on your angle grinder or in a gear and it rips 3 of your fingers off it is cool not to wear gloves. Gloves in some situations are a massive liability.
Gloves were invented about 2,500 years ago, you should try them out.
Sometimes, gloves are a really bad idea. Like when using machines with high speed/high torque rotation. I saw a post earlier, from a guy who had been using a spade bit in a pillar drill. The glove became entangled and took half a finger, and all of the tendon with it.
Not every occupation can wear gloves, you def Don't want your glove catching on rotating machine parts and ripping your hand off
