APPENDIX 3 I SELECTION OF GLOVES FOR THE USER APPLICATION (INFORMATIVE) I The performance characteristics of gloves relative to the specific hazard anticipated, e.g chemical hazards, cut hazards, and flame hazards shall also be known. Other factors to be considered for glove selection are the degree of dexterity required for work, the duration, frequency, and degree of exposure to the hazard, and the physical stresses that will be applied. A. Some of the Selection Criteria : (i) The toxic properties of the chemical(s) must be determined; in particular, the ability of

the chemical to cause local effects on the skin or to pass through the skin and cause systemic effects or both ;

(ii) Generally, any "chemical resistant" glove can be used for dry powders ; (iii) For mixtures and formulated products (unless specific test data are available), a glove

should be selected on the basis of the chemical component with the shortest breakthrough time, since it is possible for solvents to carry active ingredients through polymeric materials; and,

(iv) The gloves must be removed in such a manner as to prevent skin contamination.

and materials which could fall; working around or under conveyor belts which are carrying parts or materials; working below machinery or processes which might cause material or objects to fall; and working on exposed energized conductors.

B . The Helmet shall be selected from the following types (as required by KOC) :

1 Industrial Safety Helmet

Industrial Hard Hat (Safety Helmet) is designed to provide protection from impact and penetration hazards caused by falling objects, with inherent capacity to provide protection against electric shock (to identified levels).

(a) Class G {(General) Limited Voltage Protection) helmet, (b) Class E {(Electrical) High Voltage Protection) helmet.

2 Fireman's Helmet

Fireman's Helmet is designed to provide protection from impact and penetration hazards caused by falling objects, with inherent capacity to provide protection against electric shock (to identified levels), during fire fighting operations.
