Eye and Face Protection
Selection Chart
Source
IMPACT - chipping, grinding,
machining, drilling, chiseling,
riveting, sanding
HEAT - furnace operations,
pouring, casting, hot dipping, and
welding
CHEMICALS – acid and
Assessment of Hazard
Flying fragments, objects, large chips,
particles, sand, dirt, etc.
Spectacles with side protection, goggles, face shields…for
severe exposure, use face shields over primary eye
protection
Hot sparks, splash from molten metals, high
temperature exposure
Goggles or safety spectacles with special-purpose lenses
and side shields. Many heat hazard exposures require the
use of a face shield in addition to safety spectacles or
goggles.
Splash, irritating mists
Goggles - primary protectors intended to shield the eyes
against liquid or chemical splash, irritating mists, vapors, and
fumes.
Face Shields - secondary protectors intended to protect the
entire face against exposure to chemical hazards.
Harmful Dust
Goggles-primary protectors intended to protect the eyes
against a variety of airborne particles and dust
Radiant energy, glare, and intense light
When selecting filter lenses, begin with a shade too dark to
see the welding zone. Then try lighter shades until one allows
a sufficient view of the welding zone without going below the
minimum protective shade.
Obtaining human blood samples,
performing medical procedures, evaluating
medical equipment soiled with human
blood, body fluids, or tissue.
Face Shields - primary protectors intended to protect the
entire face against exposure to biologic hazards.
chemicals handling degreasing,
plating, and working with blood.
DUST - Woodworking, buffing,
and general dusty conditions
OPTICAL RADIATION welding, torch-cutting, brazing,
soldering, and laser work
BIOLOGIC – splashes with
blood or other potentially infectious
material

Types of Protective Gloves
Type
Material
Protection
Disposable
Light-weight plastic
Guards against mild irritants.
Fabric and
coated
fabric
Cotton or fabric
blends; coated with
plastic for slipresistance
Can help insulate hands from mild heat or cold.
Fabric: Protects against dirt, slivers, chafing and abrasions; do
not provide sufficient protection from sharp or heavy materials.
Coated fabric: Offers slip resistance; used for handling bricks,
wire, and chemical laboratory containers; may not protect from
chemical exposure—check manufacturer’s label.
Leather
Leather
Protects against sparks, moderate heat, blows, chips, and
rough objects; used in combination with an insulated liner
when working with electricity.
Metal Mesh
Stainless steel,
titanium
Protects against accidental cuts and scratches; used when
working with cutting tools or other sharp instruments.
Aluminized
Aluminized fabric
Provides reflective & insulating protection against heat; used
to work with molten materials; requires an insert of synthetic
material to protect against heat and cold.
Chemical
Resistance
Rubber, neoprene,
polyvinyl alcohol or
vinyl, latex, etc.
Corrosives, oils, and solvents; consult manufacturer’s label.
Refer to specific chart, Chemical and Liquid-Resistant Gloves
Version 2
Chemical and
Liquid-Resistant Gloves
Type
Material
Protection
Butyl
Synthetic
rubber
Wide variety of chemicals such as peroxide, rocket fuels, highly corrosive
acids (nitric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrofluoric acid and red-fuming nitric acid),
strong bases, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, esters and nitrocompounds.
Resist oxidation, ozone corrosion and abrasion, and remain flexible at low
temperatures. Do not perform well with aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons
and halogenated solvents
Natural
(latex)
rubber
gloves
Latex
Comfortable;
popular
generalpurpose
Outstanding tensile strength, elasticity and temperature resistance.
Resists abrasions caused by grinding and polishing, protect from most water
solutions of acids, alkalis, salts, and ketones.
Can cause allergic reactions in some individuals. Hypoallergenic gloves,
glove liners and powderless gloves are possible alternatives.
Neoprene
Synthetic
rubber
Offer good pliability, finger dexterity, high density and tear resistance.
Protect against hydraulic fluids, gasoline, alcohols, organic acids and alkalis.
Have chemical and wear resistance properties superior to natural rubber.
Nitrile
Copolymer
Provide protection from chlorinated solvents such as trichloroethylene and
perchloroethylene. Intended for jobs requiring dexterity and sensitivity.
Stand up to heavy use even after prolonged exposure to substances that
cause other gloves to deteriorate. Offer protection when working with oils,
greases, acids, caustics and alcohols. Not recommended for use with strong
oxidizing agents, aromatic solvents, ketones and acetates

Clothing
Type
Attributes
Protection
Paper-like fabric
Used for disposable suits
Protects against dust and splashes, (used in
medical offices to protect against splashes
of blood and other potentially infectious
materials)
Treated wool
and cotton
Adapts well to changing
temperatures; comfortable
Fire-resistant and protects against dust,
abrasions and rough and irritating surfaces
Duck
Closely woven cotton
fabric
Protects against cuts and bruises when
handling heavy, sharp, or rough materials
Leather
Used to protect against dry heat and flames
Rubber,
rubberized
fabrics,
neoprene and
plastics
Protect against certain chemicals and
physical hazards. When chemical or
physical hazards are present, check with the
clothing manufacturer to ensure that the
material selected will provide adequate
protection against the specific hazard.
