Q: We recently purchased
gloves are that are rated to 300 degrees. They are not certified by a 3rd
party. Does OSHA require gloves to be approved by ANSI?
A: OSHA requires eye/face,
head, and foot protection to meet certain ANSI standards, but not hand
protection. The certification from the manufacturer stating that the
gloves are rated to 300 degrees will be what you need. We recommend that
you request the manufacture includes the type of test they performed to
determine this rating on the document they provide to you.
