The selection of suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality which vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.
Where the chemical is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the glove material can not be calculated in advance and has therefore to be
checked prior to the application.
The exact break through time for substances has to be obtained from the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed when making a final
choice.
Personal hygiene is a key element of effective hand care.

GLOVE SELECTION INDEX
Glove selection is based on a modified presentation of the:
"
Forsberg Clothing Performance Index".
The effect(s) of the following substance(s) are taken into account in the
computer-

A: Best Selection
B: Satisfactory; may degrade after 4 hours continuous immersion
C: Poor to Dangerous Choice for other than short term immersion
NOTE
: As a series of factors will influence the actual performance of the glove, a final
selection must be based on detailed observation. -
* Where the glove is to be used on a short term, casual or infrequent basis, factors such as
"feel" or convenience (e.g. disposability), may dictate a choice of gloves which might otherwise
be unsuitable following long-term or frequent use. A qualified practitioner should be consulted.
Respiratory protection
Type AK-P Filter of sufficient capacity. (AS/NZS 1716 & 1715, EN 143:2000 & 149:2001, ANSI
Z88 or national equivalent)
Selection of the Class and Type of respirator will depend upon the level of breathing zone
contaminant and the chemical nature of the contaminant. Protection Factors (defined as the
ratio of contaminant outside and inside the mask) may also be important.
