USAGE:
- Protection from hazardous materials
Gloves protect hands from infection and contamination when working with hazardous chemicals, oils, solvents, and other materials. The type of glove to wear depends on the hazards involved. For example, nitrile gloves protect against most chemicals, rubber gloves protect against mild corrosive materials, and neoprene gloves protect against most solvents and oils.
- Keeping hands clean
Gloves help keep hands clean and reduce the chance of getting sick from germs. In hospitals, gloves should be worn when touching blood, bodily fluids, bodily tissues, mucous membranes, or broken skin.
