Buying guide
Hand injuries are among the most common on industrial sites, and glove choice is a balance between protection, dexterity and grip. Choose gloves by the specific task, using the performance ratings of EN 388, EN ISO 374-1, EN 407 and other standards.
Read the EN 388 code: abrasion, cut, tear and puncture, then the ISO cut level A-F. Handling sheet metal or glass usually needs cut level C-E; general handling often needs only level A or B. ANSI/ISEA 105 A-levels are the US equivalent.
For rigging, drilling and pipe handling, specify impact gloves marked P under EN 388 or rated to ANSI/ISEA 138.
Check EN ISO 374-1 Type A, B or C and confirm breakthrough times for the actual chemicals with the manufacturer's permeation data. Nitrile suits oils and many solvents; neoprene and butyl suit some acids and ketones.
Use EN 407 gloves for hot parts, EN 12477 Type A or B for welding, and EN 60903 insulating gloves of the correct class for electrical work, worn with leather protectors and tested regularly.
In hot conditions, choose breathable knitted liners and coatings that grip when oily or wet. Sweat reduces grip and dexterity, so provide enough pairs for changes during a shift.
Gloves that are too large reduce dexterity and can be caught in machinery. Supply a full size range (EN ISO 21420 sizes 6-11) and replace gloves when coatings wear through or are contaminated.
