How to Choose the Right Glove for Your Industry
Not all safety gloves are created equal. The right glove depends on the hazard, the task, and the environment your team works in. Choosing wrong can mean discomfort, reduced productivity — or even injury.
Here's what to look for before placing a bulk order:
- Hazard type: Mechanical, chemical, thermal, or biological — each needs a different material and build.
- Material choice: Leather for abrasion, nitrile for chemicals, latex for medical, aramid for heat.
- Certification: Check EN388 (mechanical), EN374 (chemical), or EN407 (heat) ratings on the label.
- Fit & dexterity: Loose gloves cause accidents. Always size to the task and the worker's hand.
