What cut resistance rating do I need for my work gloves?

Cut resistance ratings follow EN388 (cut levels A-F) or the older AS/NZS 2161 standard. General construction: cut level B-C. Glass handling or sheet metal: D-F. Light assembly: A-B. Check the specific hazards in your workplace to select the right rating.

What types of work gloves does KiwiWorkGear stock?

KiwiWorkGear stocks cut-resistant gloves, heat-resistant gloves, chemical-resistant gloves, waterproof gloves, disposable nitrile gloves, and general-purpose work gloves — from brands including Ansell, Portwest, Esko, and Prochoice.

How do I size work gloves correctly?

Measure around your dominant hand at the widest point (excluding the thumb) in centimetres. Size guide: S=7-8cm, M=8-9cm, L=9-10cm, XL=10-11cm. When in doubt, size up — a slightly larger glove is easier to don and remove safely.

Can I wash and reuse work gloves?

Most fabric and leather work gloves can be hand washed or machine washed on gentle. Cut-resistant gloves generally can be laundered. Dispose of single-use nitrile or latex gloves after use. Check the care label for specific washing instructions.
