Safety tips
Update 19.02.26
Working in cold storage and freezer environments exposes hands to prolonged low temperatures that can lead to numbness, reduced grip strength, slower reaction times, and frostbite. These conditions not only affect comfort but also increase the risk of workplace accidents and injuries.
Cold environments often introduce additional hazards such as wet or icy surfaces, sharp frozen materials, and heavy handling tasks. Without proper hand protection, workers may struggle to maintain control, increasing the likelihood of drops, cuts, or impact injuries.
Effective gloves for cold storage and freezer applications must strike a balance between thermal insulation, flexibility, and grip. Modern cold-weather gloves are designed with insulated liners to retain heat while using advanced coatings to ensure secure handling in wet or slippery conditions.
Key features to consider include:
Thermal insulation to protect against cold exposure
Grip-enhancing coatings for wet, icy, or frozen surfaces
Flexibility and dexterity to support safe material handling
Additional protection such as cut or impact resistance when required
Choosing gloves that address both environmental and task-specific hazards helps maintain safety and efficiency throughout long shifts.
Delta Plus offers a wide range of gloves designed specifically for cold storage, freezer, and refrigerated environments. Popular options include:
Delta Plus VV736 – A waterproof thermal glove with a textured latex coating, ideal for general cold storage and freezer handling where warmth and grip are critical.
Delta Plus VV737 – Combines thermal insulation with cut protection, making it suitable for handling sharp or frozen materials in cold conditions.
Delta Plus VV913 – An insulated glove offering both cut and impact resistance, designed to protect against mechanical hazards while keeping hands warm.
Delta Plus VV750 – A thermal glove featuring a nitrile foam grip, providing comfort and reliable handling during extended cold-weather shifts.
Delta Plus VV837 – A chemical-resistant, waterproof cold-environment glove designed for enhanced durability and grip in demanding freezer, warehouse, and manufacturing applications.
Each glove is engineered to address specific risks, allowing employers to match protection to the exact needs of their operation.
Cold hands can significantly affect job performance. Reduced dexterity and grip strength lead to slower work, increased fatigue, and a higher risk of accidents. In severe cases, prolonged cold exposure can result in serious injuries such as frostbite.
Properly selected cold-rated gloves help workers:
Hand protection is critical in cold storage and freezer environments. By choosing gloves that combine thermal insulation, grip, and task-specific protection, employers can improve safety, productivity, and comfort for their teams. Delta Plus cold-environment gloves are designed to perform where temperatures drop—helping workers stay protected, efficient, and confident on the job.
