This document provides a safety gloves matrix that outlines the appropriate glove standards and specifications for various work tasks based on the risks involved. It lists the common work tasks of cutting, heavy duty work with cutting/crushing risks, mechanical tasks with crushing risks, welding, chemical handling, electrical work, biohazards, and catering/cutting jobs. For each task, it specifies the relevant glove standards and expected protection levels against abrasion, cutting, tearing, and puncturing.
