∙ 7y agoDepending on the industry and materials that a person works with, different types of safety gloves are either required or at least recommended. For example, welders must wear protective gloves that usually cover their hands, wrists, and in some cases they should be covered up to their elbows. The gloves they wear are usually leather or suede. Other occupations that work with heavy chemicals usually require that the worker wear Nitrile coated safety gloves. Palm gloves are among the most popular for construction and factory workers. When it comes to safety gloves and their uses, it really has more to do with the hazards and dangers of a job and that is what determines what type of gloves are necessary or required.
