Anti-Vibration Gloves
Anti-Vibration Gloves carry shock-absorbing layers in the palm and fingers to reduce power-tool vibration transfer to the hand and arm. They are generally not relied on to control exposure linked to Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS); any real reduction needs data for the specific glove and tool, and prevention relies on reducing vibration at source, limiting exposure time and maintaining tools. HAVS is caused by prolonged daily use of tools such as drills, grinders, and pneumatic hammers. Tested under EN ISO 10819 for vibration transmission through the palm.

About this category
Power-tool vibration is a chronic, invisible health hazard that can cause permanent damage to nerves and blood vessels in the hand and arm after years of use. Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS, also Vibration White Finger) strikes workers who operate pneumatic hammers, impact drivers, grinders, and chain saws. Anti-vibration gloves use a vibration-damping palm (typically viscoelastic foam, absorbing gel, or both) at a thickness not exceeding 8 mm (the EN ISO 10819 limit), encased in Kevlar or leather to resist abrasion. EN ISO 10819 measures two bands: M (mid frequency 25-200 Hz) and H (high frequency 200-1250 Hz); pass criteria are set by the adopted edition (e.g. TRM < 0.90 and TRH < 0.60 in the current edition). An important technical note: the glove alone does not solve the vibration problem — it is part of a control program that includes low-vibration tools, limited duty cycles, and correct-grip training. Note that a thicker glove does not necessarily mean more vibration reduction and may reduce dexterity and increase grip force, and correct fit (a loose glove reduces damping). Applications: concrete construction, metal fabrication, pneumatic hammer work, floor polishing. Specifications follow EN ISO 10819 and ANSI S2.73.
