When it comes to safety equipment, gloves are often overlooked but are an essential piece of personal protective equipment (PPE).
They provide a barrier between the worker’s hands and potential hazards, protecting them from cuts, chemicals, heat, and more.
There are many different types of safety gloves available, each designed for specific applications.
Here’s a breakdown of some of the most common types of gloves and their uses:
