Butyl lined gloves are required during which task?

• A. During disconnection of hoses
• B. During maintenance on electrical components
• C. During connection and disconnection of hoses
• D. Always required for any task

Answer: (C)

The protective idea here is that butyl-lined gloves guard your hands against chemical exposure when you’re handling hoses. When hoses are connected or disconnected, fluids or refrigerants inside the hoses can leak or spray, and skin contact with those substances can cause irritation or injury. Wearing these gloves during both connecting and disconnecting covers the entire task, reducing the chance of any skin contact with potentially hazardous liquids.

Maintenance on electrical components isn’t typically the scenario for chemical protection; it requires electrical insulating gear rather than chemical-resistant gloves. And saying gloves are always required for any task isn’t accurate, since many tasks don’t involve chemical exposure and might use different PPE or none at all. So, protecting hands during the full hose-handling process—connecting and disconnecting—best matches the need for butyl-lined gloves.
