When handling sharp objects, which pair of gloves is specified?

• A. Nitrile Gloves
• B. Cotton Gloves
• C. Latex Gloves
• D. Leather Gloves

Answer: (D)

When handling sharp objects, the priority is to prevent cuts and punctures while maintaining a strong grip. Leather gloves are specified because they offer durability and abrasion resistance, plus solid protection against slicing or piercing by edges. The leather fibers resist tearing when edges catch and provide a more protective barrier than fabric-based options. They also help you maintain control and grip on sharp tools. Nitrile and latex gloves are better for chemical protection and puncture resistance but don’t match leather for cut protection with sharp edges, and cotton gloves offer minimal protection against cuts.
