To prohibit the use of gloves when operating a machine with drawing-in hazard [1] [1] https://www.iso.org/obp/ui#iso:grs:7010:P028 https://www.iso.org/obp/ui#i

  Indeed. I run a university fablab/machine shop and we prohibit work gloves on all rotary tools (lathes, mills, press drill, bench grinders) and band saws due to drawing in risk. Not just gloves, but all long sleeves, long hair, jewelry, watches, etc. We do allow thin nitrile gloves in cases where someone would want to avoid skin contact with eg coolant or cutting oil. See this 2011 accident at Yale where someone died when their long hair got wrapped up in a lathe. Stuff of nightmares. https://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/14/nyregion/yale-student-dies-in-machine-shop-accident.html https://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/14/nyregion/yale-student-die...
