working with hazardous chemicals and
other materials because they protect our
hands from infection and contamina-

on the basis of the hazards involved.

your feet against burns, cuts, punctures and impact. They can also prevent slips

ing on the type of activity you will be most involved with as it will be designed to
handle those movements.
