Work not providing proper PPE?

I work in a lab where the standard glove option is nitrile gloves. The work I do requires wearing gloves basically non-stop and I’ve developed contact dermatitis. I was provided one pair of cotton glove liners and was told not to throw them away and just reuse them, which because of sanitary reasons, ie soaking them with my hand sweat and rewearing them, is gross. A neighboring department provided me with a box of vinyl gloves which work great. The box is now done and I have been told that more have been ordered (over a week ago) and that they have not been delivered. What are my options? This is in NJ, USA btw.
