Glove standards explained

Occupational gloves are covered by the AS/NZS 2161 series. AS/NZS 2161.2 sets general requirements such as sizing, labelling and comfort (aligned to EN 420), and AS/NZS 2161.3 covers protection against mechanical risks (aligned to EN 388). Heat and cold performance is shown by EN 407 and EN 511 markings, and chemical resistance must be checked against the glove's data for your specific chemical.

The EN 388 mechanical code is a set of numbers. The first four digits rate abrasion (0 to 4), blade cut (0 to 5), tear (0 to 4) and puncture (0 to 4). A fifth letter from A to F, where shown, is the ISO cut level, and a final P means the glove passed the impact test. For example, a 4121 code is abrasion level 4, cut level 1, tear level 2 and puncture level 1. Higher is better, and X means not tested.

Construction and heavy duty work gloves

For construction gloves and heavy duty work gloves, start with a leather or rigger glove for general handling of timber, steel and masonry. Step up to a cut level D or F liner when the material has sharp edges, add an impact glove for knocks to the back of the hand, and choose a nitrile or PU dipped glove when you need grip and dexterity for fixings and tools. Boxes of 12 suit crews and site stores.

How to choose safety gloves

Name the hazard first: cut, abrasion, puncture, chemical, heat, cold or vibration. Then match the rating to the task, and size the glove properly, because a glove that is too large reduces grip and one that is too small tires the hand. A cut level is not the same as puncture or chemical protection, and loose gloves near rotating machinery can be a hazard. Replace gloves when they are torn, worn through, contaminated or have lost their coating.
