A406 24 Pair Nitrile-coated Work Gloves

The liner and coating

The knitted liner is nylon; the coating is nitrile. Compare both parts when choosing between work gloves. A nitrile-coated fabric glove and a disposable nitrile glove have different constructions.

Finding your fit: size L

This is size L. Before ordering, compare your hand measurements with the manufacturer's chart for this model, especially when switching brands.

HSE's measuring guide uses hand length and a measurement around the dominant hand below the knuckles, excluding the thumb. Measure both, then use the model's chart to choose a size. A glove that is too tight can tire your hands; excess material in a loose glove can interfere with your work.

Before protective work

Start with the job: what will touch your hands, how long will you wear the gloves, and will contact be a splash or sustained exposure? HSE recommends checking the substance's safety data sheet and the glove manufacturer's resistance information. Use the data for this exact model; a nitrile label or thickness figure alone doesn't establish suitability.

For food-contact, medical or other specialist work, check the required certification before choosing a pack. If the documentation doesn't answer your requirement, ask the manufacturer or choose an option with the evidence you need.
