Title: Gloves, Liquid Splash-Protective, NFPA 1992


Last Updated: 7/8/2022 12:42:42 PM

Previous SEL Number: 01SP-02-GLOV

Description: Liquid splash-protective gloves (certified as compliant with the NFPA
National Fire Protection Association
1992 requirements of NFPA
National Fire Protection Association
1990).

ImportantFeatures: Gloves are an element of the liquid splash-protective ensemble or an item of protective clothing designed to provide protection to the hands and wrists. Gloves are generally either supported or unsupported styles with different cuff design and grip finishes. Glove materials must demonstrate resistance to liquid chemical penetration, physical hazard resistance, and adequate hand function (dexterity).

Operating Considerations: NFPA
National Fire Protection Association
1992 does not address liquid splash protection against chemical warfare agents (CWA); it only addresses industrial chemicals. If CWA
Chemical Warfare Agents
liquid splash protection is required, an NFPA
National Fire Protection Association
1994 Class 3 ensemble should be selected. An NFPA
National Fire Protection Association
1992 ensemble is appropriate for protecting decontamination personnel at an incident involving biological or radiological particulates as defined in the SEL
Standardized Equipment List
Hazard-Role Matrix.

NFPA
National Fire Protection Association
1992 addresses the second tier of hazardous materials response protection. This standard establishes the requirements for chemical liquid splash protection where the chemical vapors that exist during a hazardous material response are no longer a hazard. The liquid splash-protective ensembles are intended for situations where the primary form of chemical exposure is short-term intermittent contact with liquid chemicals that do not produce skin-toxic or carcinogenic vapors. NFPA
National Fire Protection Association
1992 further permits the individual certification of garments, gloves, and footwear, which may not be part of an overall ensemble. The primary purpose of NFPA
National Fire Protection Association
1992 is to establish requirements for clothing that keeps liquids from contacting the wearer's skin. Use considerations are provided in OSHA Title 29 CFR
Code of Federal Regulations
Sections 1910.120 and 1910.132, and NFPA
National Fire Protection Association
1500, Standard on Fire Department Occupational Safety and Health Program.
