Getting a grip on hand protection

Article Abstract:

Hands are the most useful tool in nearly all occupations, and as such every effort should be made to protect them from harmful substances and disease. Gloves are not always appropriate for all protection requirements, although the correct type of glove should be selected where they are used. Marigold gloves are available for work where chemical resistance gloves, chemical resistance cleaning gloves, laboratory gloves and specialist gloves are needed.
