8. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT LIMITATIONS
No item of personal protective equipment can eliminate every hazard or prevent every injury.
No glove provides unlimited protection.
A glove described as cut resistant is not cut proof.
A glove described as puncture resistant is not puncture proof.
A glove described as impact resistant cannot prevent every impact injury. A glove described as chemical resistant is not resistant to every substance, mixture, concentration, temperature or exposure duration.
A glove described as water resistant must not be treated as waterproof unless official product documentation expressly confirms waterproof performance.
A glove described as heat resistant, cold resistant, abrasion resistant or oil resistant remains subject to the limitations stated in its official product documentation.
Published protection levels must not be interpreted as a guarantee that injury will not occur.
9. PRODUCT INSPECTION AND USE
Every product must be inspected before use and at appropriate intervals during use.
