Hand injuries are among the most common workplace incidents, especially in environments involving hazardous substances, sharp tools, repetitive manual tasks, or electrical risks. Choosing the right protective gloves is essential not only for injury prevention, but for maintaining compliance with NZ workplace safety standards such as the Health and Safety at Work (General Risk and Workplace Management) Regulations 2016.
Whether you’re managing a processing plant, a construction site, or a laboratory, your team faces daily exposure to risks such as:
- Cuts and abrasions from handling sharp or abrasive materials
- Skin damage from exposure to corrosive chemicals or solvents — where chemical resistant gloves are vital
- Blunt force trauma from impact or vibration
- Thermal burns or cold stress — mitigated with thermal gloves or thermal work gloves
- Electrical shock or arc flash hazards
- Hygiene-sensitive tasks requiring disposable gloves or latex gloves
To address these varied risks, our hand protection range is organised into eight specialised categories, helping you match the right glove — from nitrile gloves to heavy duty gloves for chemical use — to the task at hand. Our gloves are sourced to meet rigorous quality, comfort, and safety standards and are trusted by professionals across agriculture, manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, utilities, and more.
Our Hand Protection Categories Include:
Examination and Disposable Gloves
Ideal for hygiene-critical applications such as medical, food handling, and laboratory work. These single-use options include disposable gloves, nitrile gloves, and latex gloves, providing barrier protection while maintaining tactile sensitivity.
General Purpose Gloves
Versatile protective gloves designed for everyday tasks in warehousing, maintenance, and general handling. These gloves offer grip, comfort, and protection against light mechanical risks.
Cut Resistant Gloves
Engineered for environments where sharp tools, glass, or metal edges pose a risk. Available in various cut protection levels (A to F) to suit your specific task, including chemical and cut resistant gloves for dual hazards.
Impact Protection Gloves
Built to shield hands from knocks, crush hazards, and vibration. Ideal for heavy industry, construction, and tasks involving power tools or machinery.
Chemical Gloves
Provide resistance to a wide range of hazardous substances, including acids, solvents, and caustics. Our range includes long chemical gloves, rubber gloves, and heavy duty gloves for chemical handling, suitable for cleaning, manufacturing, and industrial processing.
Thermal Gloves (including Welding Gloves)
Protect hands against extreme heat, cold, and thermal hazards. Designed for welding, outdoor work, and temperature-sensitive environments, our selection includes thermal gloves and thermal work gloves.
Electrical Protection Gloves
Insulated gloves tested for electrical resistance and arc flash safety. Essential for electricians and workers operating near live voltage.
Sleeves and Arm Protection
Extend protection beyond the wrist. These sleeves guard against cuts, burns, and chemical splashes — a perfect companion to chemical resistant gloves and cut resistant gloves for full-arm coverage.
We understand that selecting the right protective gloves can be complex. That’s why we support our customers not just with products, but with expert advice, site audits, and various PPE solutions. If you’re unsure what level of protection your site requires, speak to our team – we can assist with glove selection, product trials, or safety training tailored to your work environment.
