What type of gloves should you never use when handling chemicals?

  1. Latex

  2. Nitrile

  3. Polyethylene

  4. Vinyl

The correct answer is: Vinyl

Vinyl gloves should never be used when handling chemicals because they are not resistant to many chemicals and do not provide adequate protection. Latex, nitrile, and polyethylene gloves are more suitable choices for handling chemicals as they offer better chemical resistance and protection for the skin.
