These nitrile gloves can be brittle so, depending on thickness, you may want to wear a double pair when lifting and moving frames with edges. Perhaps try a test without hazards and see if your gloves fit the generalities of intended use.

Hi everyone,
=0A
I=E2=80™d like to know if anyone has dealt with the demolition of a lab and removal of a fume hood in which osmium tetroxide was used? Other than recommending respiratory protection (N100 or P100 cartridges), nitrile gloves and coveralls during=0A tear-out, are there any other precautions we should keep in mind?

Thanks for any suggestions.
