Hand & body protection

Glove choice depends on what will touch the hand: cut edges, oil, heat, chemicals or wet surfaces. Safety gloves, coveralls, aprons and reflective vests each need to be specified for their own hazard. Mention glove material and coating, cuff length, coverall fabric and weight, apron material, the visibility class for vests, and the size spread across the workforce. The applicable Indian Standard should be checked for each item.
