General notes: 

Hands are precious but vulnerable. However, people continue not to take care of their security when they work.

The hands suffer because of lots of attacks, wounds, cuts (due to the heat or to chemical products), pittings, electric discharges shocks, flattenings, …

In numerous occasions, the lack of protection or the negligence in the choice of an adapted equipment causes damages that can be important and also irreversible.

To protect ourself and decrease the risks, it is imperative to use adapted and resistant gloves according to standards of reference.
