Best PPE for worker comfort in plating

We are improving our Silver plating on copper and Tin plating on copper process. I am investigating PPE and worker comfort. What rubber gloves ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil link] / apron ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil link] / goggles ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil link] / boots/ etc do you recommend? And what types of materials.

I am trying to maximize protection and worker comfort.

Thank you,

Vinyl everything, since it's resistant to the full range of chemicals. Some or all of these products have ANSI approval ratings you should look for.

But conduct a safety class as well! If your management or your workers think they don't need it, ask them this simple yes or no question: "Will a well-trained worker perform unsafe acts?"
