Frequently Asked Questions
1. What PPE is commonly used in metal fabrication shops?
Metal fabrication workers commonly use cut-resistant gloves, leather palm gloves, safety glasses or goggles, face shields, hearing protection, and protective headwear. The required PPE depends on the task, including sheet-metal handling, grinding, cutting, deburring, drilling, machining, welding support, and material movement.Common construction PPE includes hard hats, high-visibility safety vests, work gloves, safety glasses or goggles, and hearing protection. The appropriate PPE depends on the work being performed, site hazards, and employer safety requirements.
2. What cut-resistant glove level is recommended for metal fabrication?
ANSI A4 to A6 cut-resistant gloves are commonly used for general sheet-metal handling, fabrication, assembly, and maintenance. Higher cut levels may be appropriate for sharp unfinished edges, metal stamping, scrap handling, or heavier materials. Glove selection should be b.ased on the sharpness, weight, grip requirements, dexterity needs, and specific hazards of the job
3. When should workers use cut-resistant gloves instead of leather palm gloves?
Cut-resistant coated gloves are a good choice when workers need dexterity, grip, and protection while handling sheet metal, sharp parts, tools, and components. Leather palm gloves are better suited for abrasive material handling, rough surfaces, general shop work, and certain tasks involving moderate heat or sparks. Neither glove type should be used for chemical, electrical, or high-heat hazards unless it is specifically rated for that exposure.
4.Are safety glasses enough for grinding and metal cutting?
Safety glasses with side protection may be suitable for certain lower-risk impact tasks. Grinding, cutting, chipping, and operations that create heavy sparks or flying particles may require a face shield worn over safety glasses or goggles. A face shield protects more of the face but should not be treated as a replacement for primary eye protection.
5. Can a clear face shield be used for welding?
No. A standard clear face shield protects against impact, chips, and some flying debris, but it does not provide the filtered lens protection required for arc welding or many torch-cutting operations. Welding and cutting tasks require a welding helmet, shield, or filtered eyewear with the correct shade for the process. UNINOVA clear safety glasses and face shields should only be used for the hazards listed in their individual product specifications.
6. When is hearing protection needed in a fabrication shop?
Hearing protection may be needed around grinders, saws, presses, pneumatic tools, cutting equipment, and other high-noise machinery. UNINOVA offers foam earplugs and earmuffs for different work environments. Employers should select hearing protection based on their workplace noise assessment, required attenuation, product NRR, fit, comfort, and compatibility with other PPE.
7. Can UNINOVA build PPE kits for different metal fabrication tasks?
Yes. We can configure PPE kits for sheet-metal handling, grinding, deburring, cutting, machining, general maintenance, new hires, contractors, and visitors. Kits can include A4, A5, or A6 cut-resistant gloves, leather palm gloves, safety glasses, goggles, face shields, earplugs, earmuffs, and selected head protection based on your requirements.
8. Do UNINOVA metal fabrication PPE products meet U.S. safety standards?
Selected UNINOVA products are designed and tested to applicable standards, including ANSI/ISEA 105 for hand protection and ANSI/ISEA Z87.1 for eye and face protection. Protection levels, markings, and supporting documentation vary by product, so buyers should review the specifications for each SKU or contact us before ordering.
9. Can we order mixed glove sizes, protection levels, and custom logos?
Yes. Depending on the product and order quantity, buyers may combine glove sizes, cut levels, glove styles, safety eyewear, and hearing-protection products in one order. Custom logo options are available for selected gloves, hard hats, safety products, labels, and packaging. A digital mockup is provided for approval before production.
10. Do you offer bulk pricing and recurring supply for fabrication shops?
Yes. UNINOVA supports bulk orders and recurring PPE supply for fabrication shops, machine shops, metalworking contractors, manufacturers, and multi-location operations. In-stock orders generally ship within 1–2 business days, and eligible U.S.-warehouse orders typically arrive within 3–5 business days. Lead times for customized, large-volume, or out-of-stock orders are confirmed before ordering.
