Franz Mensch work gloves

Work gloves are particularly resistant gloves that protect your hands from mechanical influences and make your work more comfortable. Work gloves, or also called assembly gloves or industrial gloves, are part of personal protective equipment (PSA). They are available in different materials and designs. Thus, they offer reliable protection for all areas of application in industry, warehousing, crafts or assembly. Important: Work gloves must meet all the standards prescribed by law. Franz Mensch therefore pays attention to tested quality that really delivers what it promises.

 

What kind of work gloves are available?

As a glove professional with decades of experience, Franz Mensch offers you a wide range of industrial and assembly gloves. From waterproof work gloves to food-safe work gloves and warm thermal gloves for winter or cold storage: Here in the store you can buy work gloves for every application - and at a very good price-performance ratio.

Basically, work gloves differ in the following characteristics:

  • Base material: Cotton, leather, polyester and nylon are among the most common materials from which assembly gloves are made. The material is usually processed as fine knit, medium knit or coarse knit. The finer the structure, the better the comfort and tactile sensitivity.
  • Surface: To increase wetness protection and grip, there are work gloves with nubs or a special coating.

Tip: For work areas with high hazards and special requirements for hand protection, choose our protection gloves.

 

Work gloves according to EN 388 - for protection against mechanical risks

Work gloves meet the requirements of EN 388:2016. They protect your hands from injuries and prevent accidents. According to the official accident statistics of the DGUV (German Social Accident Insurance), every third work accident results in a hand injury. The most common cause is human error - including neglect in terms of occupational safety. With the right equipment, you can improve workplace safety and significantly reduce injuries. To pass EN 388, work gloves are thoroughly put to the test in various tests. The better the glove, the better the performance level achieved.

EN 388:2016 applies to all types of work gloves designed to protect against physical and mechanical hazards of abrasion, blade cut, puncture and laceration. Note: The standard defines four tests and specifications in performance levels. If the performance level is below the minimum value, the number listed is "0"; "X" indicates that the glove has not been tested.

  • A - Abrasion resistance: performance level 1-4
  • B - blade cut resistance: performance level 1-5
  • C - Tear resistance: performance level 1-4
  • D - Puncture resistance: performance level 1-4
  • E - Cut resistance (ISO test): Performance levels A - F
  • F - Shock protection: PASS or FAIL test

 

The current PPE Regulation 2016/425: This applies to work gloves

The directive distinguishes three classes of gloves

  • Category I: Gloves for protection against minimal risks (e.g. household gloves).
  • Category II: PPE for protection against medium risks (e.g. gloves for general work requiring cut, abrasion and puncture resistance) must be tested and certified by an independent notified certification body and carry a CE mark.
  • Category III: PPE for protection against the highest risk levels, irreversible or lethal risks (e.g. chemicals, bio-agents, etc.) must also be tested and certified by a designated certification body. Gloves in this category carry the CE mark with ID number of the certification body.

 

How to determine the right work glove for your area:

The following questions will help you choose.

1. purpose
For which activities do you use the glove? Rough or fine work? Work with slippery or wet objects? Do you want your glove to be touchscreen compatible?

2. Protected area
Which body parts are at risk? Hand, forearm or the whole arm? Depending on this, a glove with a long cuff or an additional sleeve protector must be used.

3. Degree of hazard
Are your hands exposed to chemicals, hot or cold temperatures? Is there a hazard from machinery or electricity? Which PPE category applies to the activity?

4. The right size
When buying the glove, make sure you get the right size. Gloves should have a good fit. Improperly fitting, too tight, insufficiently elastic gloves cause constant pressure on the surface of the hand. How to measure your glove size correctly
