First protect your hands

The phrase “getting your hands dirty” used to be a badge of honour among vehicle technicians. Today, in workshops and garages, it’s all about protecting those same hands from irritation and damage.

Diesel exhaust fumes, dirty engine oil and the many chemicals used to clean, treat, dye and protect materials can all be hazardous. Technicians should always handle with care and protect their skin.

With manufacturers introducing an ever-expanding set of products, hand protection should be a priority. Keep protective gloves at arm’s reach to avoid contact with oils, grime and irritants that can harm the skin. Exposure can cause eczema/dermatitis at best, and serious long-term damage at worst—hence the widespread move to fuel-resistant nitrile gloves in workshops.

Did you know? Employers must provide adequate PPE so staff can work safely. If the job involves chemicals or irritants, proper hand protection is mandatory.

Why choose nitrile gloves over latex?

Nitrile is a synthetic rubber with excellent durability and a textured, non-slip finish—ideal for busy environments with frequent contact to oils and grime. It’s long-lasting too, helping reduce glove changes throughout the day.

Our Disposable Nitrile Powder-Free Workshop Gloves come in blue or black, are 100% latex-free for users with sensitivities, and offer robust resistance to common workshop solvents and chemicals.

Advantages of nitrile gloves

• Beaded cuff for extra strength and to prevent liquid roll-off
• Superior barrier protection vs. latex and vinyl
• Excellent puncture resistance and tensile strength
• Ambidextrous fit; comfortable and form-fitting
• Great touch sensitivity for precision work
• Can be worn for extended periods
• Superior chemical resistance to petroleum-based products

Get a grip!

Skin protection is the #1 reason to wear gloves, but not the only one. Beyond chemical and oil resistance, dexterity, grip and cut resistance improve safety and productivity—especially when you’re making fine adjustments to parts coated in slippery substances.

Whatever the task, remember: you’ve only got one pair of hands—keep them protected.
