The appropriate safety glove will depend on the work being done and the hazards involved. General handling may require grip and flexibility, while work involving sharp materials can require increased cut resistance. Cold conditions, powered equipment, welding and electrical work can place different demands on hand protection and may require a more specialist glove.
Always check the individual product specification and protection rating against the task and relevant site risk assessment.
Coated work gloves provide practical hand protection for general handling tasks where grip, flexibility and abrasion resistance may be important.
CID Group’s range includes nitrile-coated gloves for heavier-duty work alongside PU-coated options designed to provide flexibility during handling. Some products are specifically listed for tasks such as handling timber and scaffold.
Cut-resistant gloves are intended for tasks where sharp materials create an increased risk of cuts to the hands.
CID Group stocks safety gloves across different cut-protection levels, including specialist options rated up to Level F under EN388:2016+A1:2018.
The required level should be selected according to the specific hazard rather than assuming all cut-resistant gloves provide the same protection.
Our range also includes specialist hand protection for applications where a standard handling glove may not be suitable.
Options include thermal gloves, PVC gauntlets, leather welders' gauntlets and electrical insulating gauntlets with leather protectors. Because the required protection differs significantly between these applications, please check the individual product information and relevant site requirements before selection.
Rigger and leather gloves provide robust options for general site handling where a more substantial glove construction is required.
We stock standard leather rigger gloves and lined leather driver's gloves alongside other specialist hand-protection options.
Low-vibration gloves are designed for tasks involving powered equipment where vibration exposure needs to be considered.
CID Group’s low-vibration glove is listed for equipment including jack hammers, drills and demolition hammers and carries an EN388 rating.
Disposable nitrile gloves are also available for applications requiring single-use hand protection, including standard powder-free and heavy-duty diamond-grip options.
For a wider selection of single-use PPE, you can browse our Disposables range.
CID’s safety gloves range also includes protective sleeves for applications where cut protection is required beyond the hands. Our reinforced sleeve option is designed to provide additional arm protection where laceration risks are high.
Many reusable work gloves in the CID range are tested to EN388, the standard covering protective gloves against mechanical risks.
EN388 ratings can provide information on performance against factors including abrasion, cut, tear and puncture resistance. Higher-risk cutting applications may also use the ISO 13997 cut-resistance classification from Level A through to Level F.
Not every safety glove is assessed against the same standard, particularly specialist and disposable products, so always refer to the individual product specification when selecting hand protection.
Having suitable hand protection available for the task helps keep site teams properly equipped as working conditions and activities change. The CID Group catalogue and website products are supported by our No Backorder Guarantee, helping contractors access required PPE without unnecessary delays.
