The operator should use gloves made from leather, neoprene, or rubber materials that are made specifically for the sandblasting operation. This prevents flying abrasive particles from passing through the skin and from the static charges if being generated.
Sandblasting hand gloves are in long lengths which create a continuous hurdle that prevents dust from entering openings in clothing.
Cabinet-style abrasive blasting gloves should be applied when using a sandblasting cabinet, according to the cabinet manufacturer instructions.
