Lecture · Hand Protection
Selecting Hand Protection for Real Hazards
Gloves are the most-issued and most-misunderstood item of PPE. We work through matching glove materials to chemical and mechanical hazards, reading the EN performance markings, and why the wrong glove can be more dangerous than none at all.
What you will take away
By the end of this session you will understand the key principles behind hand protection and be able to apply them to your own workplace with confidence. The lecture keeps the theory practical and connects every point back to the relevant EN standards and tools available across SafetyOrbit.
Watch and follow up
