EN420 Protective Gloves

When working with hazardous materials or in environments where you could damage your hands or lack sufficient grip, protecting your hands against damage and contamination is very important. There are many chemicals that will cause damage to or invoke an allergic reaction if they come into contact directly with skin. Some more poisonous and toxic chemicals can even absorb through the skin, this could lead to serious complications such as infection. Gloves must therefore be chosen carefully in these circumstances depending on the work you do, and should be suitable for the job at hand. If you're working outdoors, chances are you will need sturdy gloves which will be more durable, and resistant to tearing and punctures. These come in different grades, and it is always best to ask a professionals advice when picking out protective gloves, especially if you plan on using them for forestry/as a tree surgeon.
