Rank: New forum user		After some advice on wearing gloves whilst using a drill press Rule is that gloves should not be worn when operting drill press but when there is a high chance of getting contact dermatitus from metal working fluid from work piece what is the best route, no glove or a tight fitting glove? Thanks

Rank: Super forum user		Ideally you want to be in a situation where gloves are not required. https://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/guidance/mw2.pdf Advises tight "tearbale" nitrile 0.4mm but if you search for posts by Chris Packham he has posted on more than one occassion that such PPE can actually cause more damage than it is preventing. Another glove related injury with rotating machinery was reported on the HSE news site 28th January 2021

Rank: Super forum user		If you want more on this PM me with contact details and I will get in touch. It is not something so simple that it can be explained in a simple text on this forum.
