Abstract
Millions of chemical protective gloves are used every day in Europe. Unfortunately, many are not achieving the level of performance needed to protect the health of the worker, although neither employer nor user are aware of this. The way in which such gloves perform is complex and affected by a whole range of factors. A method of integrating these into a simple method for selection and use has proved to be extremely difficult. This presentation will review the many factors that affect glove performance under actual working conditions and show how a system for the selection and use of gloves for chemical protection might be developed. A novel method for testing gloves under actual working conditions so as to correctly identify performance will be proposed.
