Your hands are essential: without them, it is impossible to carry out your tasks effectively and safely. Their protection is vital to prevent injuries, cuts, burns, disorders, or irritations that can occur daily in your profession.

However, it is not just about protecting against immediate accidents. In France, 87% of recognised occupational diseases are Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs). These disorders primarily affect the muscles, tendons, and nerves of the upper limbs. They are often linked to repetitive movements or constrained postures. This is why the majority of products are designed to ensure good freedom of movement.

Wearing gloves that comply with standards and have clear markings contributes to ensuring your comfort and safety. Rubix offers suitable hand protection solutions that help reduce all the risks associated with your profession.

The Different Types of Hand Protection Offered by RUBIX

Choosing the Right Hand Protection

Depending on your professional activity:

Mechanics, electricians, frozen goods order pickers, welders, etc. All must protect their hands, but each profession imposes different requirements. This is why Rubix offers a wide range of protective gloves suitable for each use and environment.

Compliance with Personal Protective Equipment Standards: Each glove complies with the EN ISO 21420 standard for general design, followed by specific standards such as EN 511 (cold), EN 388 (mechanical risks), or EN 407 (heat), for example.

Gauge: The gauge of a glove indicates its fineness and dexterity. It corresponds to the number of needles present on an English inch (2.54 cm) of a knitting machine. Only seamless knitted work gloves display this number, which allows for a quick assessment of their precision level.

Good to Know: Today, we generally find gauges of 7 - 10 - 13 - 15 and 18 for knitted gloves.

Size: Wearing ill-fitting gloves reduces sensitivity and dexterity. To ensure comfort and protection, it is essential to choose the right size. Measure the width of your palm between the base of the index finger and that of the little finger: 8 cm corresponds to size 8 (M) and 9 cm to size 9 (L).

Maintaining Your Protective Gloves

Maintaining work gloves is essential to preserve their performance and maximise their durability. Made from technical fibres resistant to abrasion, cuts, or tears, some models can be machine washed or sent to a professional laundry.

However, not all types of gloves are cleaned in the same way. Textile gloves can generally be machine washed several times, while leather models require specific products such as creams or suitable greases. For cut-resistant or thermal gloves, it is recommended to follow the manufacturer's cleaning instructions.

Choosing good hand protection is essential to preserve the safety and health of professionals. This is why Rubix supports you with a wide selection of gloves suitable for each profession and environment.

Find models from recognised brands such as GISS, Mappa and Ansell combining performance and comfort to meet the demands of your professional activity.
