Summary: Protecting hands.

Gloves are personal protective equipment (PPE) worn on the hands to protect them from various hazards. The specific type of glove is chosen based on the potential risks in a given environment. These risks can include:

Chemicals: Gloves can protect against skin absorption or irritation from solvents, acids, and other substances.

Physical hazards: Gloves can provide protection from abrasions, cuts, punctures, vibrations, and extreme temperatures.

Biological hazards: Gloves can act as a barrier against infectious agents like bacteria and viruses.

   Gloves are made from a wide range of materials, including latex, nitrile, vinyl, rubber, leather, and fabric, each offering different levels of protection and dexterity. Proper glove selection and use are essential in many workplaces and medical settings to ensure hand safety.
