Glove standards

To help ensure employers are able to
protect their workforce, as well as be
compliant with the current
legislation, safety expert, Arco, and
leader in hand protection solutions,
Ansell, have combined their
expertise to develop a
comprehensive, easy to use reference
guide on the EN standards for Safety
Gloves.

As well as explaining how to
comply with the PPE directives and
EN 420:2003 General Requirements
for gloves, the new Guide offers
information on how to protect
hands specifically against Chemicals
and Microorganisms (EN 374:2003);
Mechanical risks (EN 388: 2003);
Radiation and Radioactive
contamination (EN 421: 1994);
Thermal hazards (EN 407: 2004);
and Cold (EN 511: 2006); as well as a
comprehensive
overview of the
REACH directive.
