Hand Protection Proper Use Guidelines

• Ensure proper hazard assessments have been performed and documented.
• Ensure all applicable MSDS's (Material Safety Data Sheets) are on site, are accessible, and are current within three years.
• Use industry-recognized guides and charts to help in selecting the required protection level and skin barrier material. (Manufacturers’ web sites may prove to be very useful, please contact ISS for assistance)
• Consider doubling up gloves for added protection in rough environments.
• Consider glove thickness and cuff length when selecting appropriate protection.
• Ensure gloves fit snugly without compromising movement or dexterity.
• Ensure design is durable enough for the expected work conditions.
• Ensure equipment is easy to clean and disinfect where applicable.
