Work glove distribution in Kenya

Work gloves selected for the stated task and size

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional industrial-supply order: thirty-six pairs of one professionally selected warehouse handling glove, allocated twelve M, eighteen L and six XL. The employer’s competent safety assessor specifies the exact model for its actual handling hazards; the distributor arranges three additional fit samples. Do not describe a general-purpose glove as chemical-proof, electrical protection or cut-proof, and do not select protection solely from a photograph of boxes.
