| Summary: | This document gives information on the selection and use of
personal protective equipment for the hand protection. The
application of this document requires that the risk assessment has
been carried out and the hazards have been minimized accordingly
through substitution and technical and organizational measures. On
this basis, this document contains information that supports
employers in counteracting certain risks to hands that could not be
sufficiently reduced by substitution and technical and
organizational measures by selecting and using suitable protective
gloves. This document provides explanations on selection, usage and
training applicable to protective gloves. The explanations
concerning specific hazards are provided in annexes. This guidance
considers the following risks: mechanical, (see Annex A);
chemical, (see Annex B);- biological, (see Annex C); thermal,
(see Annex D and E); electrostatic discharge (see Annex F);
ionizing radiation and radioactive contamination (see Annex G).
This guidance does not cover other risks, because pertinent
international or national publications are available or because the
relevant information was not available in ISO/TC 94/SC 13/WG 8.
Risks not covered include e.g.: cuts and stabs by hand knives;
use of chain saws (covered by ISO 11393-4:2018, Annex A);
animal bites; needlesticks; electrocution; optical
radiation; vibrations; electric fault arcs;
firefighting (covered by ISO/TR 21808); sport.
