Hand Protection Expert Guide
With years of experience, as well as the information pages here, we have a range of resources that can help you keep up to date with glove legislation and ultimately help you keep people safe.
This guide provides information to assist with the specification and purchasing of safety gloves, including relevant legislation and details of EN glove standard tests, across everything from mechanical and chemical protection to welding and thermal protection.
Changing Standards Expert Advice
A number of changes to the way gloves are tested have occurred recently. Many workplaces are still unaware of the changes to the cut glove standard EN 388 and EN 374, and don't understand what it means for them. Get to grips with EN 388 and EN 374 and ensure you're providing effective hand protection.
