Choosing the Right Work Gloves for the Job
When it comes to workplace safety, selecting the correct work gloves is essential. Different jobs need different levels of protection, whether you’re handling tools on a building site, picking in a warehouse or working with materials in manufacturing. Our collection includes general handling gloves, heavy duty work gloves and specialist safety gloves to reduce the risk of cuts, abrasions and punctures, in glove sizes from 7 (small) to 11 (XXL).
EN388 Safety Gloves Explained
Most of our safety work gloves are rated to EN388, the standard for mechanical protection. EN388 measures resistance to abrasion, cut, tear and puncture, helping employers choose gloves suited to the hazards their teams face every day. Check the rating on each product listing to find the right level of protection for your site.
Grip and Coated Work Gloves
For construction and trade professionals, coated grip gloves are the most popular choice. Latex, nitrile and PU coated work gloves give excellent control when handling bricks, timber, tools and metal, while staying breathable and flexible for long shifts. Our best sellers include the Beeswift MP1 builders grip gloves in packs of 100. Browse the full range of gripper gloves.
Heavy Duty, Cut Resistant and Specialist Gloves
For higher-risk work, choose cut resistant gloves, anti-impact gloves or heavy duty rubber gloves. Working outdoors? Our thermal work gloves keep hands warm in cold conditions, and fully coated waterproof work gloves help with grip in wet or oily conditions. For hot work, see our welding gloves.
Disposable Gloves
We also stock disposable gloves in nitrile and vinyl, all powder-free, for short-term protection during maintenance, mechanical work and cleaning.
