The Critical Importance of Hand Protection in the Workplace
Our hands are invaluable tools, enabling us to craft, create, build and repair. Yet hand injuries rank as the second most common workplace injury. This sobering statistic underscores the vital importance of proper hand protection for workers across industries. High-quality safety gloves are essential for guarding against both acute and chronic risks faced on the job.
Acute hazards that safety gloves help mitigate include:
- Chemical exposure
- Cuts and lacerations

Chronic risks that proper gloves can help prevent include:

Touchscreen Compatibility
Many modern work gloves now incorporate conductive materials in the fingertips, allowing workers to use touchscreen devices without removing their gloves.
Antimicrobial Treatments
Some gloves feature antimicrobial coatings or are made with inherently antimicrobial materials to reduce odor and bacterial growth during extended wear.
Eco-Friendly Options
Manufacturers are developing biodegradable gloves and using recycled materials to create more sustainable hand protection solutions.
Proper Glove Care and Maintenance
To maximize the lifespan and effectiveness of safety gloves, proper care is essential:
Cleaning
Follow manufacturer guidelines for cleaning. Many gloves can be machine washed, while others require hand washing or specialized cleaning methods.
Inspection
Regularly inspect gloves for signs of wear, tears, or degradation. Replace gloves that show significant damage or loss of protective properties.
Storage
Store gloves in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Some gloves may require specific storage conditions to maintain their protective qualities.
Rotation
Implement a glove rotation system to allow adequate drying time between uses, which can extend glove life and improve hygiene.
Selecting the Right Gloves for Your Workforce
Choosing the appropriate safety gloves involves careful consideration of several factors:
Risk Assessment
Conduct a thorough assessment of workplace hazards to identify the specific types of protection required.
Task Analysis
Consider the nature of tasks performed, including required dexterity, grip needs, and exposure duration.
Environmental Factors
Account for temperature, humidity, and other environmental conditions that may impact glove performance.
Worker Feedback
Involve employees in the selection process to ensure comfort and acceptability, increasing the likelihood of consistent glove use.
Regulatory Compliance
Ensure selected gloves meet all relevant safety standards and regulations for your industry.
By carefully evaluating these factors and leveraging Empire Safety’s extensive glove selection, employers can provide their workforce with hand protection solutions that offer optimal safety, comfort, and performance. Prioritizing hand safety through proper glove selection and use not only protects workers but also enhances productivity and reduces costs associated with workplace injuries.

Winter and autumn gloves at affordable prices in the Fur Empire
Presented 7 products
Popularity Sort from latest Price: ascending Price: descending
Gloves are an absolute must for cold autumn and winter.
Today you can find different variations of gloves – with fur, textile, nylon, but leather gloves are more popular.
They are chosen for their stylish appearance, practicality and heat resistance. There are insulated winter or autumn options with a thin lining for the off-season. A special place is occupied by mitts – fingerless gloves, suitable for sports or casual looks. There are long leather gloves, bone-length on the wrist, car gloves, biker, sports, with a touch screen. Made from natural and artificial leather, our range includes products only from natural materials.
The leather used for these products is thinner, stronger and more ductile to withstand mechanical stress. Most often used pig, sheep and goat skin. Pork is considered denser and coarser, retains heat well, provides high-quality thermoregulation, and is more often used for men’s gloves. Sheepskin (chevret) is a plastic and soft material, but less heat resistant. More suitable for demi-season gloves. One of the most practical materials is goat skin, which perfectly retains heat, is resistant to stress and wear.
Among other, more exotic materials, there is American deer skin, snake skin, shark skin. Gloves made of thin leather are considered the most valuable.
Ufa demi-season gloves are made of thin leather without lining or with a thin layer of insulation, which can be cotton, silk, textiles or baize. Winter gloves are made with fur filler with camel, sheep hair. On our site you can find classic options that go well with any clothing: business suits, sportswear, which is especially important for men. Gloves withstand any low temperature, high humidity, protect hands even in severe frosts.
The skin of the hands most needs warmth in winter, and at this time we forget to take gloves with us or simply do not want to weigh down the images. But if you choose stylish gloves without unnecessary decor and design, they are perfect for a winter coat or jacket, they will not break the harmony of the chosen images, but only emphasize their style. You can buy such gloves on the website or in the complex itself.
There you can also get acquainted with the assortment of other accessories: hats, bags, stoles, scarves and much more. Discounts are available on many products, interest-free installments are possible.

Balls and traditions. Interesting facts
Ball, ball, ball!!!
Ball is always a holiday. Bright, colorful, sparkling, cheerful. And this holiday has always been desired and loved in Russia.
Balls were given all year round, but the season began in late autumn and continued throughout the winter. Often in one evening I had to attend two or three balls, which required considerable strength, besides, many balls ended in the morning, and the next day it was necessary to make visits and prepare for the upcoming amusements.
Balls and masquerade balls were divided into class, professional, age categories, timed to coincide with special celebrations, and were court, public, private, merchant, wedding, children’s .
..
Balls of the Nobility Assembly, balls of artists and balls held by foreign embassies, merchant balls were popular in their time.
History of balls in Russia
The first ball in Russia took place in Moscow at the wedding of False Dmitry and Marina Mnishek.
Peter I resumed the balls, and since then they have become loved and revered both in the capitals and in the provinces of the Russian Empire.
Peter’s assemblies became the prototype of future balls. The assemblies were gatherings with dances. Assemblies began to be held in St. Petersburg and Moscow as early as 1717 in the homes of the Russian nobility.
Assemblies served not only as a means of entertainment – “for fun”, but also a place “for reasoning and friendly conversations.”
Then, during the reign of Anna Ioannovna, Elizabeth Petrovna and Catherine II, assemblies completely supplanted balls and masquerade balls.
A ball is a solemn public or secular event, the main component of which is a dance program.
Therefore, since the 18th century, dance has become a compulsory subject in all higher and secondary educational institutions, schools and boarding schools. It was studied at the royal lyceum and at modest vocational and commercial schools, at the gymnasium and at the cadet school.
In Russia, they not only perfectly knew all the latest and old ballroom dances, but also knew how to perfectly perform them. The dance culture of Russia in the 19th century stood at a high level.
Ballroom dress code
The ball has its own ceremonial and rules of conduct, which makes it so majestic and luxurious. All this allowed to maintain sophistication and attractiveness.
It was customary to come to the ball dressed smartly. Cavaliers – in a tailcoat pair, tuxedo or suit (depending on specific requirements and conditions), white shirt and vest. By the way, tailcoats were of different colors, only by the end of the 30s of the XIX century the fashion for black was established.
White gloves were an obligatory item of clothing for gentlemen. The civilians wore kid gloves, and the military wore suede gloves.
Moreover, according to the rules, the lady had every right to refuse the gentleman without gloves. Therefore, it was better to come to the ball in black gloves than no gloves at all.
Civilian gentlemen’s costumes depended little on fashion and were recommended to be sewn in classical forms.
The military came in full dress uniforms corresponding to their regiments.
Cavaliers came to the ball in boots. Ballroom boots were also worn by the military, and only uhlans were allowed to wear boots. The presence of spurs was not approved. The fact is that the spurs tore the dresses during the dance. But some lancers broke this rule for the sake of panache.
Ladies and girls dressed in fashionable dresses. As a rule, the dress was sewn for one ball and only in extreme cases was used twice.
Ladies could choose any color for the dress, unless otherwise specified. For example, on January 24, 1888, an emerald ball was held in St. Petersburg, at which all those present were dressed in the appropriate color.
Dresses for girls were made in white or pastel colors – blue, pink and ivory, that is, the color of “ivory”.
Matching gloves or white gloves were matched with the dress. By the way, wearing rings over gloves was considered bad manners. Even more interesting facts can be found in the historical park “Russia-My History”.
Ladies could adorn themselves with a headdress.
The girls were encouraged to have a modest hairstyle. But in any case, the neck had to be open.
The cut of ball gowns depended on fashion, but one thing remained unchanged in it – open neck and shoulders.
With such a cut of the dress, neither a lady nor a girl could appear in the world without jewelry around the neck – a chain with a pendant or a necklace.
That is, something had to be worn necessarily.
Ladies’ jewelry could be any – the main thing is that they were chosen with taste. Girls were supposed to appear at balls with a minimum amount of jewelry, for example, with a pendant around their neck or a modest bracelet.
An important component of the ladies’ ball costume was the fan, which served not so much to create a fresh breath, but as a language of communication, now almost lost.
Recovering to the ball, the lady took with her a ball book – carne or agenda – where, opposite the list of dances, she entered the names of gentlemen who wanted to dance this or that dance with her. Sometimes the reverse side of the fan could be used instead of the agend. It was considered excessive coquetry to brag about your completed agenda, especially to those ladies who were rarely invited.
Rules of conduct at the ball
By accepting the invitation to come to the ball, everyone thus assumed the obligation to dance.
Refusing to participate in dances, as well as showing dissatisfaction or making it clear to a partner that you dance with him only out of necessity, was considered a sign of bad taste. And vice versa, it was considered a sign of good education at the ball to dance with pleasure and without coercion, regardless of the partner and his talents.
At a ball, more than at any other social event, a cheerful and amiable expression is appropriate. To show at the ball that you are not in a good mood or are dissatisfied with something is inappropriate and impolite in relation to those having fun.
Starting conversations with acquaintances before paying tribute to the owners was considered indecent. At the same time, not greeting acquaintances (even with a nod of the head) was also unacceptable.
There was a special culture of invitation to dance at the balls. An invitation to a dance was allowed in advance, both before the ball itself and at the ball. At the same time, it was considered impolite if a lady arrived at the ball promising more than the first three dances in advance.
In the ballroom, the order and dances are supervised by the manager of the ball.
During the ball, gentlemen should monitor the comfort and convenience of the ladies: bring drinks, offer help. The gentleman had to make sure that his lady was not bored.
Talking at a ball is certainly permissible. At the same time, it is not recommended to touch on complex and serious topics, as well as to gather a large company around you.
Buffoonery is not appropriate at balls. Even gentlemen who have a too cheerful disposition are advised to behave with dignity at the ball. Quarrels and quarrels between gentlemen are highly discouraged during the ball, but if disagreements arise, then it is recommended to resolve them outside the dance hall. Ladies are the main decoration of any ball. Therefore, it behooves them to behave affably and nicely. Loud laughter, slander, bad humor can cause disapproval of a decent society. The behavior of the ladies at the ball should be distinguished by modesty, the expression of extreme sympathy for any gentleman can give rise to condemnation.
Most of all, any manifestations of jealousy on the part of ladies and gentlemen are inappropriate at the ball. On the other hand, immodest looks and defiant behavior that provokes other participants in the ball are also unacceptable.
Dancing
According to the rules, the gentleman began the invitation to dance with the hostess of the house, then all her relatives followed, and only then it was the turn to dance with their familiar ladies.
At the beginning of the 19th century, the ball opened with a polonaise, where in the first pair the host walked with the most honored guest, in the second pair – the hostess with the most honored guest.
At the end of the 19th century, the ball began with a waltz, but court, children’s and merchant balls opened with a majestic polonaise.
During the 19th century, the number of dances that a gentleman could dance with one lady during a ball changed. So at the beginning of the century this number was equal to one, and already in the 1880s two or three dances were allowed, not following one after another in a row.
Only the bride and groom could dance more than three dances. If the gentleman insisted on more than expected number of dances, the lady refused, not wanting to compromise herself.
During the dance, the gentleman entertained the lady with light secular conversation, while the lady answered modestly and laconic.
The cavalier’s duties also included preventing collisions with other couples and preventing his lady from falling.
At the end of the dance, the gentleman asked the lady where to take her: to the buffet or to the place where he took her from. After exchanging mutual bows, the gentleman either left, or could remain next to the lady and continue the conversation for some time.
As a rule, after the mazurka, the gentleman led the lady to the table for dinner, where they could talk and even confess their love.
Everyone had dinner in the side parlors, at small tables.
In addition, a buffet was always open at the balls with various dishes, champagne, a large selection of hot and cold drinks.
