Myth: any glove fits any work
Latvian
Description
The poster raises awareness that gloves need to be carefully selected based on what they should protect against because each type of work has a glove that is most appropriate. One should check the labelling of the gloves and make sure that they meet the specific demands of the work and the used chemicals! The poster depicts a worker who is surprised to see that the gloves he is using have melted off his hands. The gloves are stained with the purple liquid that is in a barrel behind him bearing hazard signs. The occupational safety and health (OSH) expert is carrying a pair of appropriate gloves for him.
