There are a variety of things to consider when choosing appropriate hand protection for workers in the automotive industry, including sharp metal parts, caustic chemicals and the need for dexterity for some job tasks.

Superior Glove has simplified the basic requirements in an easy-to-read, infographic format for reference.
