A safety glove for protecting the hand of a worker is provided, configured to protect the hand of the worker while still providing flexibility and dexterity to the user. The glove features a first protective structure or structures secured to a first base layer to protect the distal phalange bone of the worker, and a second protective structure or structures secured to a second base layer to protect the intermediate phalange and proximal phalange bones of the worker. The separation between the base layers provides for enhanced flexibility of the distal phalange, and allows for flexibility when performing tasks that require agility and dexterity.
