Collection: Gloves

The choice of safety glove depends on the job or field, with cut-resistant gloves suitable for sharp tools and machines, chemical-resistant gloves for labs and cleaning services, heat-resistant gloves for welding, foundries, and food processing, and insulated rubber gloves for electricity use. These gloves should meet safety standards like EN 388 for mechanical risks and EN 374 for chemical protection, and ensure a comfortable fit for easy movement. Choosing the right glove for your industry will provide the most protection and ensure workplace safety.

To ensure comfort and safety at work, choose the right size and fit for your work gloves. Measure the circumference of your dominant hand and compare it to the manufacturer's sizing chart. Tight gloves can cause fatigue and make hands hard to move, while loose gloves can make hands tired and increase accident risk. Consider the glove's design and stretch for hand shape and flexibility. Good gloves improve grip, reduce strain, and make tasks safer. Try on gloves before purchasing, as different tasks may require different glove fits.

Work gloves are tested to meet safety standards like EN 388 and ANSI levels. The EN 388 standard tests gloves against mechanical risks like cuts, tears, abrasions, punctures, and impacts. Gloves are rated for cut resistance and impact protection, with higher numbers indicating better protection. Pictograms display these ratings, making it easy for users to choose the right glove for their needs. ANSI/ISEA 105 is another North American standard that ensures gloves are chosen consistently and reliably for safety at work.

You should get new safety gloves as soon as you notice that the ones you have are worn out, damaged, or contaminated. This is because gloves that are damaged can't protect you as well. The type of glove, the work environment, and how often it is used all affect how often it needs to be replaced. For instance, you should change your disposable gloves every time you use them or if they get a hole or tear. You should also check your reusable gloves every day for cracks, thinning, holes, or loss of grip. These are the gloves you use to protect yourself from cuts or chemicals. If gloves come into contact with dangerous chemicals or biological agents, they should be thrown away right away, even if they look fine. Checking and replacing safety gloves on a regular basis keeps your hands safe, lowers the risk of injuries at work, and makes sure you follow safety rules.
