Safety Gloves & Work Gloves for Workplace Hand Protection

At The Coalface Workwear and Safety stocks hand protection from brands including Pro Choice Safety, PIP, Force360, Graphex, MaxiSafe and Eureka. Explore gloves for everyday handling and specialist tasks, with options offering cut resistance, chemical resistance, contact heat protection, reinforced construction and arc-flash protection.

Suitable gloves depend on the hazards involved. Material, tested performance, fit and dexterity should be considered together, rather than selecting a glove by appearance or occupation alone.

Cut-Resistant Gloves for Construction, Fabrication & Handling

Cut-resistant work gloves provide options for tasks involving sharp materials, metal components and other cutting hazards. Applications may include sheet metal fabrication, construction, manufacturing, glazing and warehouse handling, where the selected glove’s performance matches the task.

Selected styles feature reinforced thumb areas, flexible knitted liners and coated palms. Compare the stated EN 388 or ANSI cut rating for each model. Cut resistance does not mean cut-proof protection, and puncture or needle resistance requires separate assessment.

Chemical-Resistant Gloves for Cleaning & Industrial Tasks

Chemical-resistant gloves provide options for cleaners, automotive technicians, maintenance teams, food processing workers and industrial operators handling specified substances.

Selected nitrile, neoprene and blended gloves offer different combinations of chemical resistance, grip and cuff coverage. Longer gauntlet designs can extend coverage beyond the hand. Selection should follow the manufacturer’s chemical compatibility information, including the substance, concentration, exposure duration and working temperature.

A nitrile-coated handling glove should not be assumed to provide the same chemical protection as a glove tested for chemical exposure. For single-use options, explore the disposable gloves collection.

Welding Gloves & Contact Heat Protection

Welders, metal fabricators and maintenance workers may require gloves designed for the welding process or contact with hot materials. Selected styles include leather construction, protective linings, reinforced sections and extended cuffs.

Contact heat resistance, flame resistance and welding suitability are distinct characteristics. Check the individual glove’s specifications and stated test levels against the task, including the required grip and freedom of movement.

Arc-Flash-Rated Gloves for Electrical Industry Tasks

Selected Eureka gloves offer tested arc-flash protection, with flame-resistant construction and additional features such as cut resistance, contact heat resistance and extended cuffs.

Arc-flash gloves may form part of the protective equipment specified for electricians, electrical maintenance teams and utility workers following a workplace risk assessment. The required arc rating and coverage depend on the assessed exposure and the particular glove.

An arc rating describes protection against the thermal effects of an electrical arc. It does not establish electrical insulation against shock. Where shock hazards exist, appropriately rated insulating hand protection and the required protective system must be specified.

Grip, Dexterity & Practical Glove Features

General-purpose work gloves provide options for warehouse staff, logistics teams, mechanics, landscapers, construction workers and maintenance personnel. Depending on the model, features include nitrile or polyurethane palm coatings, textured grip, breathable knitted backs, flexible liners and reinforced wear areas.

Selected gloves also offer impact padding or vibration-related features. These should be assessed against their documented performance and the equipment being used.

Correct sizing supports grip and control. Compare the product size guide and choose a glove that allows the movement required for the task without excess loose material.

Frequently Asked Questions About PPE Gloves

Which occupations use safety gloves?

Safety gloves are used by construction workers, warehouse staff, mechanics, metal fabricators, welders, cleaners, maintenance teams and industrial operators. Each role involves different hazards, so suitable gloves should be selected according to the task, materials handled and required protection. Explore the wider PPE collection for related workplace equipment.

What protection do cut-resistant gloves provide?

Cut-resistant gloves offer tested resistance to cutting hazards, with performance levels varying between models. Selected styles also feature coated palms, reinforced wear areas or additional mechanical protection. Cut resistance does not mean cut-proof protection, and it does not establish resistance to needles or every puncture hazard. Check the individual glove’s ratings against the task

Are chemical-resistant gloves different from nitrile-coated work gloves?

Yes. A nitrile-coated handling glove may provide grip and abrasion resistance without being tested for chemical exposure. Chemical-resistant gloves should be selected using the manufacturer’s compatibility information for the substance, concentration, temperature and exposure duration. Explore disposable gloves for single-use options, checking their suitability separately.

Are arc-flash-rated gloves available, and do they protect against electrical shock?

Selected Eureka models offer tested arc-flash protection. An arc rating relates to protection against the thermal effects of an electrical arc; it does not establish insulation against electrical shock. Where shock hazards exist, appropriately rated insulating hand protection must be specified. Glove selection should follow the workplace risk assessment and manufacturer’s documentation. Explore arc and fire-rated workwear for related clothing.

What features should be considered when choosing work gloves?

Consider the required protection alongside grip, dexterity, sizing, liner material, palm coating and cuff length. Selected gloves offer textured coatings, breathable knitted backs, reinforced thumb areas, impact padding or extended gauntlet coverage. Welding and hot-material handling require task-specific gloves with suitable documented performance. A close, comfortable fit should allow the movement and control needed for the work.

Can safety gloves be purchased in store or ordered for a business?

Yes. Safety gloves are available online and in store at our Chatswood location, with some specialist models available by order. Businesses can contact At The Coalface Workwear and Safety with preferred models, required protection, sizes and quantities to discuss availability and ordering. Calling (02) 9417 1292 before visiting is recommended when seeking a particular glove.
