Selecting the Right Safety Gloves for Every UAE Application

Hand injuries account for a significant proportion of workplace injuries in the UAE. Using the wrong glove type provides a false sense of security.

Cut-Resistant Gloves

ANSI/ISEA 105 rates cut resistance from A1 to A9. For general construction, A4 to A5 offers good balance. Steel and glass fabrication requires A7 or higher.

Chemical-Resistant Gloves

Nitrile resists oils, fuels, and many solvents — most versatile for UAE industrial use. Neoprene offers broader resistance including acids. Always check the chemical compatibility chart.

Heat-Resistant Gloves

For welding, foundry work, and hot-pipe handling. In the UAE, even metal objects left in direct sunlight can cause burns, making heat-resistant gloves more widely necessary than in cooler climates.
