Gloves
Safety gloves are essential personal protective equipment (PPE) designed to protect hands from workplace hazards such as cuts, abrasions, chemicals, heat, cold, impact, and punctures. Used across manufacturing, construction, automotive, food processing, utilities, and maintenance operations, safety gloves help reduce injuries while improving grip, comfort, and productivity.
Common Applications
Industrial safety gloves are widely used in environments including:
- Manufacturing and production facilities
- Construction and general contracting
- Warehousing and material handling
- Automotive and mechanical work
- Oil, gas, and utilities
- Food processing and sanitation
How to Choose Safety Gloves (Click to expand)
Selecting the right safety glove depends on the specific hazards present in your work environment. Key factors include protection type, material, coating, dexterity, and grip performance.
- Cut Resistance: Rated using ANSI cut levels (A1–A9), with higher levels offering greater protection against sharp objects.
- Material: Common materials include nitrile, latex, neoprene, PVC, leather, Kevlar, Dyneema, and HPPE blends.
- Coating: Nitrile, polyurethane (PU), latex, and foam coatings improve grip and durability in dry, wet, or oily conditions.
- Heat & Cold Protection: Insulated gloves for cold environments and heat-resistant gloves for welding and hot work.
- Chemical Protection: Chemical-resistant gloves designed for handling solvents, acids, oils, and hazardous liquids.
- Dexterity & Comfort: Consider glove thickness, flexibility, and breathability for extended wear.
