Evaluation of different type of glove using vibrating hand tool
Nurul Hanna Mas’aud1, Bulan Abdullah2.
The paper presents satisfaction survey of the glove conditions while using vibrating hand
tool in a manufacturing industry. The effects of vibration can cause health issues to the
workers especially to those who are using vibrating hand tools. Hand held vibrating tools
have become the common use in the manufacturing area. A study stated that many
researchers have found that vibration exposures have become a common health problem
in manufacturing industries. The research scope and objectives are to evaluate the
satisfaction level of the workers using different types of gloves as well as to see how
effective they are at reducing vibration exposure. The input data were collected by
satisfaction survey among 30 respondents. There are three types of gloves conditions; (i)
without glove, (ii) knitted glove and (iii) fingerless anti-vibration glove. The comparison of
worker’s satisfaction level between these three conditions was summarized. It clearly
showed that the use of fingerless anti-vibration glove is the most comfortable among the
workers. The main advantage is that the fingers and thumb remain uncovered resulting in
unconstructed movements.
