The question is often asked whether all chemical protective gloves are equally suitable for all hazards. The answer is quite simple: no.
Each glove for its task
As diverse as the hazards are, it is important to choose the right glove. For example, chemical protection gloves are made from various natural (e.g. latex) and synthetic materials (e.g. nitrile and neoprene). The different hazards range from chemicals in cleaning agents (household!) to the chemical industry and from the prevention of minor hazards to the prevention of fatal or irreversible risks.
Category 3 Gloves & EN Certified
Chemical protective gloves are always Category 3 gloves and must be certified according to EN. It is the responsibility of the employer and user to use the right glove for the respective application.
There are databases of employers' liability insurance associations, the German Social Accident Insurance (Gestis Substance Database) and some manufacturers, which can be very helpful for the user.
Specialist Dealer for Gloves
The technical trade also has this expertise in many cases and can then advise the user professionally. If you are looking for the right chemical protective glove, you can always contact a specialist dealer (such as: www.omniprotect.de).
