Safety Work Gloves

When you're working with materials that are dangerous or damaging to the skin, or when you need to keep bacteria on your skin from getting onto the things you touch, you need hand protection that doesn't compromise dexterity. The technology behind safety gloves is constantly improving and there are now many different variants on each basic type, making it easy for you to find the right product for your organisation.

When you're working in a risky environment, good quality safety gloves are a vital addition to your personal protective equipment. The right ones can protect you from electric shocks, dangerous chemicals, heat, cold, spikes or dangerous microbes. You'll find them much more flexible than older designs and some are designed to provide an extra good grip, useful when you're handling heavy, slippery or fragile objects. Whatever the task, the right gloves will enable you to approach it with a lot more confidence.

FAQs


Can I double-up gloves to get better protection?

It's possible to double-up with thin, single-use gloves and other types of gloves but you should not try to wear other types of gloves at the same time or your mobility will be seriously restricted. It's much better to find gloves that provide multiple forms of protection or switch between pairs when carrying out complex tasks.

How long can I expect safety gloves to last?

All the multi-use gloves we offer are hardwearing but some types of work take more toll on them than others. You should heck them regularly to make sure they're not damaged. It's a good idea to keep spares in stock so you don't have delay work if you find a problem.
