  Simply providing employees with Safety Work Gloves is not really enough. To start with, it is clearly wrong to assume that protection equipment or clothing can last forever. Work gloves for example are likely to wear out quite quickly if they are used for a long time every single day. Even the best quality safety gloves will will become worn or damaged - but that's after all their purpose, to take the damage to make sure that people's hands don't have to. But if employers simply assume that offering the gloves and other safety equipment is just about all that's required, this overlooks the truth that at some point the safety equipment won't be safe to use, and will no longer provide the sort of protection that's needed.
  
  In fact in some cases worn or damaged equipment or clothing may not just provide a diminished level of protection, it might also contribute towards a new risk or a heightened risk purely because of the damage. For example, if a glove has become utilized or frayed, it might be possible that a piece of lose material catches on a piece of machinery, which could jolt the employee as they try to move, which might result in an automobile accident.
  
  So it is crucial that all employers put into place suitable procedures so that all safety equipment together with clothing is regularly checked by people who are familiar with what to look for, and that any equipment that's not deemed to be safe or able to meet the required standards is marked accordingly, and put in a location which can prevent anyone from inadvertently wanting to use it. This means that checklists need to be created, standards agreed, routines put into place to make sure that the checks are carried out regularly, a procedure established for recording the results, including removing failed PPE equipment from use, and a way for marking or adding faulty or damaged equipment easily, and in an easy method which cannot accidentally get overlooked. This will inevitably require staff to become trained in carrying out these checks.
  
  Additionally it will be expected of employers to carry out appropriate training, so that each one staff are fully aware of what the PPE Equipment is designed for, and how to select the right item for the right task, such as choosing which kind of work gloves to wear when using different kinds of machinery or tools or working within different environments. This training needs to become carried out regularly to ensure everyone is kept up to date with any new requirements or new equipment, and new employees ought to be provided with all appropriate training as soon as possible.
  
  All of these requirements ought to be documented and verified so that should an investigation be expected or called, the business is able to demonstrate full and definite compliance with current regulations governing the use of, distribution of and maintenance of PPE equipment, from operate gloves and tabards to safety goggles and hard hats.
  If hands are covered up for hours on end for hours at any given time then this will result in clammy, uncomfortable hands, reduced blood flow, damage to nerves and possible damage to arteries.
