Mining environments typically require impact-protection gloves for heavy equipment handling, cut-resistant gloves (EN 388 cut level A4–A6) for sharp materials, and chemical-resistant gloves for exposure to oils, acids and solvents. We stock all three types from brands including Wondergrip and Uvex, suitable for surface and underground mining.
Chemical-resistant gloves must be matched to the specific substance — nitrile for oils and petroleum, neoprene for acids and alkalis, PVC for general chemical resistance. The OHS Act requires employers to conduct a chemical hazard assessment and provide appropriate hand protection. We can advise on product selection for your specific application.
EN 388 is the European mechanical protection standard for safety gloves, widely used in South Africa. It rates gloves on abrasion resistance, blade cut resistance, tear resistance and puncture resistance — each scored from 0 to 4. Higher numbers mean better protection. EN 388: 4543 indicates excellent all-round mechanical protection.
