Hand Protection is a crucial part of PPE for any physical labour task, handling dangerous chemicals, operating tools, equipment and machinery. It is imperative that appropriate ‘task-specific’ gloves, are worn in the workplace. The Graphex® range at Workwear Direct features an extended thumb and forefinger saddle. This beneficial design boosts the gloves’ overall protection, grip and longevity - further reducing the risk of hand injuries in the workplace.

Unknown to most people, gloves in Australia are almost always sold as compliant to Australian or European Standards. They may show the ‘CE’ mark and mechanical score and symbol like ‘EN388 4542F’ . They may state in their literature ‘Compliant to European Standards’ or ‘meets European Standards’. They may also print AS/NZS 2161.3 on the glove as a way of claiming the glove is standards approved.
