Protective Gloves

  • Chapter
Condensed Handbook of Occupational Dermatology

Abstract

There are both an increased occupational use of protective gloves and increased interest in their protective capacity against harmful chemicals as well as blood-borne infections, e.g. hepatitis and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This interest parallels new directives and regulations that have come into force in Europe concerning the use and safety requirements for protective gloves.
