Body Protection

Proper selection and use of appropriate hand and body PPE will prevent or minimize the potential for worker injuries due to chemical or physical hazards. For example:

• When using solvents, improper glove selection may allow the solvent to leak through the gloves, leading to skin contact.

Appropriate gloves and protective clothing must be used to protect workers from hazards such as burns, cuts, electrical shock, amputation, and absorption or contact with chemicals
