It is suitable for use in wiring boxes, pulling cable, stripping wire, and installing conduit, circuits, sockets, and electrical equipment, among other applications.Work gloves help protect the hands, can cover the wrists, and sometimes extend to cover part, or all, of the arm. Work gloves are typically constructed from leather or heavy cotton and are suitable for use in construction, mechanical, landscaping, and do-it-yourself applications to help protect against minor cuts and abrasions.

Work gloves may also be made of, or include, flame retardant material for use in welding and other heavy-duty applications.Ansell manufactures gloves and protective clothing.
