EN388 is the primary European standard for mechanical protection gloves. It evaluates abrasion resistance, blade cut resistance, tear resistance, puncture resistance and, where applicable, impact protection. Construction workers handling rough materials, steel or heavy tools generally benefit from gloves with higher abrasion and cut resistance. The appropriate performance level should always match the specific job rather than simply selecting the highest rating.

Many construction tasks involve contact with sharp materials such as rebar, sheet metal, glass, cable trays and utility knives. Cut resistant gloves help reduce the risk of hand injuries while allowing workers to maintain dexterity during installation and material handling. The required cut protection level depends on the type of materials and tools used on site.

Impact protection gloves are recommended when handling heavy materials, using power tools or working in demolition, structural steel and mechanical installation. TPR impact guards help absorb accidental knocks and reduce injuries to the back of the hand without significantly affecting flexibility. They are particularly valuable in high-risk construction environments where hand impacts are common.

Replacement depends on glove condition rather than a fixed schedule. Gloves should be inspected regularly for coating wear, cuts, punctures, damaged seams or reduced grip. Once protective performance is compromised, they should be replaced immediately. Proper storage and cleaning can also help extend service life and maintain consistent protection.
