<\/a><\/div>\n
In 2008, I wrote an article about Hand Protection for ISHN (Industrial Safety & Hygiene News<\/a>), the foremost industrial safety publication for safety engineers and managers. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Surprisingly, not much has changed since I wrote this article so I thought it would be worthwhile to post it here for others looking for this type of information. This way it will be permanently archived as well. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It should be noted that this article is focused on one type of industrial work glove \u2013 Coated Gloves<\/a> \u2013 which are the most popular gloves used today in industrial and manufacturing industries. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
You can link to the article at this link which is a printable PDF file: Hand Protection<\/u><\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
By the way, if you don\u2019t already receive ISHN, I suggest you go to their link at the top of this post and see about subscribing. It\u2019s a good monthly periodical focused on safety products. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If anyone has any questions or need any assistance on glove advice, please feel free to contact me. <\/div>\n
