Your hands are one of your most important tools at work. Whether you're handling materials, operating equipment, working with tools or carrying out detailed tasks, the right Work Gloves can provide an important layer of protection while helping you work comfortably.
At MS Workwear, we supply workwear and PPE for businesses, tradespeople and organisations across Sunderland, the North East and throughout the UK. Our PPE range includes Work Gloves, alongside safety footwear, ear protection, harnesses and respirators.
With more than 40 years of experience supplying workwear, we understand that protective equipment needs to be practical, comfortable and suitable for the job.
Different jobs can expose your hands to a variety of workplace hazards.
Depending on the environment, workers may need protection against risks such as:
Abrasion
Cuts
General handling
Sharp materials
Dirt and grime
Cold conditions
Impact
General workplace wear and tear
The right Work Gloves can provide an additional layer between your hands and the working environment.
However, not every glove is designed for every application. Choosing gloves based on the actual job and the risks involved is an important part of selecting suitable PPE.
When selecting Work Gloves, it's important to consider what your employees actually do during the working day.
For example, someone working in construction may have very different requirements from someone working in a warehouse or carrying out detailed assembly work.
Consider:
Think about the tasks being carried out and the materials being handled.
Are employees handling rough materials? Working with tools? Moving stock? Carrying out detailed work?
The answer will help determine which type of glove is appropriate.
Work Gloves may be worn for several hours at a time, so comfort matters.
A glove that fits properly and allows sufficient movement can make everyday tasks easier while reducing the temptation for workers to remove their PPE.
Workwear and PPE need to withstand the environment in which they're being used.
If gloves are being used every day for demanding tasks, durability should be an important consideration when choosing your PPE.
The correct fit is essential.
Gloves that are too large can affect dexterity and grip, while gloves that are too small may restrict movement and become uncomfortable.
Whenever possible, make sure employees have access to the appropriate sizes.
One of the advantages of having access to a broad PPE range is being able to select equipment that suits different working environments.
Work Gloves can be useful across industries including:
Construction
Engineering
Manufacturing
Warehousing
Transport
Landscaping
Maintenance
Plumbing
Electrical work
General trades
Property maintenance
Industrial environments
MS Workwear supplies workwear and PPE to businesses across a wide range of industries, from construction and engineering to warehousing, transport and hospitality.
Gloves are often just one part of a wider PPE solution.
Depending on the working environment, employees may also require:
Safety footwear
Hi-vis clothing
Eye protection
Hearing protection
Head protection
Respiratory protection
Protective clothing
Harnesses
MS Workwear's current PPE range includes Gloves, Footwear, Harnesses, Respirators and Ear Protection, allowing businesses to source multiple types of protective equipment from one supplier.
Construction and trade workers regularly handle tools, materials and equipment, making hand protection an important consideration.
Whether you're a builder, electrician, plumber, engineer, landscaper or maintenance professional, choosing suitable Work Gloves can help provide protection while allowing you to carry out everyday tasks.
For businesses supplying gloves to multiple employees, it's also worth considering the different tasks carried out by individual members of the team rather than automatically providing everyone with the same glove.
Warehouses and distribution environments can involve constant handling of boxes, stock, equipment and other materials.
Comfortable Work Gloves can be useful for employees who spend much of their working day handling products and materials.
For larger teams, choosing suitable gloves as part of a wider PPE programme can also help keep your workforce consistently equipped.
MS Workwear has been supplying workwear since 1984, growing from a Sunderland-based business into a supplier serving customers throughout the UK.
The company supplies products from recognised workwear brands including Portwest, DeWalt, Apache, Castle Clothing, Regatta, Result, Russell, Supertouch and Tuff Stuff.
Being based in Sunderland also means local businesses can benefit from a more personal service when choosing workwear and PPE.
Whether you need a small quantity for yourself or PPE for an entire workforce, getting advice on the right products can make ordering much easier.
If you're responsible for supplying PPE to a team, ordering multiple items at once can make managing your workwear considerably simpler.
