The Right Gloves For The Job

Posted on: December 24, 2014 Category: Hand Protection, Safety, Tags: hand protection, hand safety, occupational safety, right gloves, safety work gloves, work gloves

A glove could be a simple tool to protect your hand but it could be something more than that, it could be a means to save your life. It is important for workers who are at risk to protect their hands with the right safety gloves for the job. This would also allow them to perform their tasks more efficiently.

A worker should be able to determine the hazard that they would be exposed to, in order to choose the right glove to wear. Conveniently, protective gloves are identified through the types of work hazards: mechanical and chemical and liquid.
