Do We Need All These Different Gloves? | The Science of Lab Safety

For some, the rule is "no glove, no science" - but why? And who really needs them?
Not all gloves are the same, and we need to know exactly when to wear which kind. Learn why in this video!
Welcome to the Science of Lab Safety, brought to you by Lab Safety Specialists!
While we might all know that we have to follow certain rules when working in a science laboratory, we might not know “why” these rules matter (other than to avoid getting into trouble). Let’s take a closer look at the exciting, unexpected, and sometimes scary facts behind the Science of Lab Safety.

Well designed video & a great intro for people entering a lab enivronment

Thank you for this video. I used to work as. an emt. Now, I currently work at a factory(I handle oils/chemicals and parts sensitive to dust) which means I use gloves regularly. I also use them at-home. I use both latex and nitrile gloves, I always have 2-3 boxes ay my worl station since I double glove as needed would you please do a video on double gloving?

We are still trying to decide on which part is the most cringe-worthy! Any suggestions?

who is the audience?

[@ScienceofLabSafety]

@@data_compost Anyone who needs to wear gloves for science-related things!

@@ScienceofLabSafety seems pretty basic - I worked in labs before and not sure I would have found this that helpful .

[@ScienceofLabSafety]

@@data_compost Thanks for the input! What would have been better?

[@data_compost]

@@ScienceofLabSafety not really sure. I guess maybe some solid one page prints that I could use as a reference in a lab I.e. glove type and chemical types can use with/types of science you can do with those gloves (we used to do mass spec and that required a whole mess of other stuff) - I’ll watch again and think of more. Watched as my mom was asking last night about gloves and safety re: COVID since I worked in labs and in kitchens and used gloves for both.
