mechanical safety gloves, etc.
Really you wouldn't use "agresiones" here because this list of items would be written in one of two ways:
"Mechanical safety gloves (perforations, cuts, vibrations)
Chemical safety gloves
Electrical....."
or in a true, inventory listing style:
"Gloves, mechanical protection (perforations, cuts, vibrations)
Gloves, chemical protection
Gloves, electrical....."
Check the millions of hits you get for mechanical/chemical/electrical/thermal safety gloves....
To use "hazards" you would need to construct a phrase such as:
"Gloves to protect against mechanical hazards" or
"Gloves against mechanical hazards",
neither of which are very succinct or natural, IMO.
"Mechanical safety gloves (perforations, cuts, vibrations)
Chemical safety gloves
Electrical....."

dangers/ hazards
I think " hazards" is a good fit.

: Sorry! Having thought further, I've concluded that 'hazards' wouldn't really work considering the whole context. See my suggestion for an explanation. ;@)

injuries
It would seem that the point of view from which "injuries" are seen is different to that from which "agresiones" would be seen. But I think "injuries" comes closer to the meaning than "hazards".
One of the difficulties is that perforations and cuts are injuries, while it would be more accurate to put vibrations under the heading of hazards.
