What is an essential characteristic of non powdered gloves used in sampling?

Non-powdered gloves are specifically designed to reduce irritation for the wearer. This is particularly important in scenarios involving lead sampling, where prolonged contact with gloves might lead to skin sensitivities or allergic reactions caused by powders or other materials often found in powdered gloves. By eliminating powder from the inside of the gloves, manufacturers focus on creating a product that minimizes the risk of skin irritation while still allowing for dexterous handling of sampling materials.

In the context of lead inspection and risk assessment, maintaining skin integrity while handling potentially hazardous material is vital. Therefore, gloves that reduce irritation support both the comfort of the inspector and the safety protocols required when dealing with lead.
