How to Choose the Right PPE Gloves
Selecting the right personal protective equipment gloves depends on your industry and application. Here’s a quick guide:
- Nitrile gloves: High resistance to chemicals, punctures, and oils. Ideal for laboratories, cleaning, and industrial use.
- Latex gloves: Strong elasticity and comfort. Common in medical and food-handling applications.
- Vinyl gloves: Cost-effective, lightweight, and best for short-term or low-risk tasks.

FAQs on PPE Gloves
Q: What’s the difference between disposable and reusable PPE gloves?

Q: How should PPE gloves be used and disposed of?
A: Always wash hands before use, inspect gloves for damage, and follow correct donning/doffing procedures. Dispose of single-use gloves in appropriate waste bins to avoid contamination risks.
