You might be cleaning, handling food, interacting with chemicals or even working in the health sector, such as nursing or dentistry; regardless of what you do gloves can be important.

Gloves not only help to protect against bacteria moving from your hands to another person, but can also protect your hands against damage that might come from long periods of being submerged in water (if you clean a lot of dishes etc.) or even the damage that could come as a result of cleaning chemicals or other potentially harmful fluids you may work with.
