OSHA 29 CFR 1910.138 Hand Protection:

Sense of touch, power grip, and precision grip
Gloves: choosing the right type, length and fit, inspecting, washing and storage Other Equipment:
Hand pads and guards, finger guards, barrier cream

Selection of hand protection should be based on an evaluation of the performance characteristics of the hand protection in relation to the tasks to be performed, conditions present, duration of use and potential hazards.
