Finding the right safety gloves starts with understanding the task.
Traffi’s range of work gloves, protective gloves, and industrial gloves is designed to support a wide range of workplace risks, from cut and impact hazards to chemical handling, heat exposure, and hygiene-critical tasks.
You can explore the full range by protection type, application, or industry, and move quickly from product selection to technical detail and evaluation.
Choose the type of protection you need and go directly to the relevant glove range.
Cut Resistant
For handling sharp materials and reducing cut risk across a wide range of tasks
Chemical Resistant
For protection when working with chemicals, liquids, and hazardous substances
Impact Resistant
For environments where hands are exposed to force, crushing, and heavy mechanical risk
Heat Resistant
For high-temperature environments, hot surfaces, and thermal exposure
Disposable
For hygiene, contamination control, and light-duty protection tasks
Working with sharp materials? Look at cut resistant gloves designed to reduce the risk of lacerations
Handling chemicals or liquids? Use chemical resistant gloves suited to the substances involved
Exposed to impact or crushing? Select gloves with impact protection across key areas of the hand
Working with heat or hot surfaces? Choose gloves designed for thermal protection and high-temperature environments
Managing hygiene or contamination? Use disposable gloves for clean, controlled handling
If you are assessing multiple risks or reviewing safety across a team, you can explore the full range and compare options by application.

Alongside the core range, Traffi continues to develop gloves designed for specific tasks, risks, and working environments. Take a look at our latest releases and recently introduced solutions.
The TG1050 has a crinkle latex palm and offers Cut Level A protection in wet and dry conditions. It’s lightweight and flexible for everyday handling.
The TG3010 is a lightweight Cut Level B glove with a PU palm, and is great for general handling in dry conditions.
The TG5660 is a leather Cut Level D roping glove built for climbing, maritime and rescue work.
Selecting the right safety gloves is part of a wider approach to managing risk.
Different tasks introduce different hazards, and using the same glove across all applications often leads to gaps in protection or inconsistent use. A more structured approach links glove selection directly to the task, the environment, and the level of risk involved.
Traffi’s glove range is designed to support that approach, giving you clear options across key protection types so you can match gloves more accurately to how work is carried out.
For organisations reviewing hand protection more broadly, this can form part of a wider process, where glove selection is aligned with risk assessments, user requirements, and consistency across teams.
Across industries, hand protection requirements are rarely the same. Different environments call for different types of protection, and that is where having a clearly structured glove range becomes valuable.
Traffi’s portfolio brings together key protection types, allowing you to cover a wide range of applications without unnecessary complexity. From cut and impact protection through to chemical handling, thermal environments, and disposable use, the range is designed to reflect how work is actually carried out.
For distributors, this provides a practical way to support customers across multiple sectors while keeping product selection focused and relevant. Instead of offering endless variation, the range is built around solving specific risks and applications.
Sampling plays an important role here. Being able to trial gloves in real environments makes it easier to demonstrate performance, support customer decisions, and move from initial interest to wider adoption.
Selecting the right safety gloves comes down to understanding the task, the risk, and the environment.
By exploring the full range, comparing options, and testing gloves in real conditions, you can make more confident decisions and ensure the protection you choose performs where it matters.

Safety gloves are a type of personal protective equipment designed to protect your hands from workplace hazards such as cuts, chemicals, impact, heat, and contamination. Your hands are often the most exposed part of the body during manual work, so selecting the right gloves plays a key role in reducing injuries, supporting safer working practices, and helping you carry out tasks effectively without compromising protection.
Choosing the right safety gloves starts with understanding the task and the risks involved. You need to consider what your hands are exposed to, how long the glove will be worn, and what level of dexterity is required. At Traffi, we follow a structured approach to glove selection, helping you match protection to real working conditions rather than relying on specification alone. You can explore this further in our glove selection process, which walks through how to assess risk and select the right gloves.
Work gloves are designed to protect against different types of hazards, so the category you choose should always reflect the task. At Traffi, our range includes cut-resistant gloves, chemical-resistant gloves, impact gloves, heat-resistant gloves, and disposable gloves. Each type is developed to address a specific risk, making it easier for you to select the right glove based on how the work is actually carried out.
Protective gloves and industrial gloves are often used interchangeably, but both refer to gloves designed to protect your hands in working environments. In practice, “protective gloves” is a broader term, while “industrial gloves” is more commonly used in sectors such as construction, manufacturing, and heavy industry. In both cases, the key is selecting gloves based on the task and level of risk involved.
Using the same glove for every task can create gaps in protection. Different hazards require different types of gloves, and selecting the wrong type can reduce effectiveness or impact usability. At Traffi, we focus on helping you match gloves to specific risks, so protection aligns with the task. This approach supports safer working practices and improves consistency across teams.
Safety gloves are tested against recognised standards to measure how they perform against specific hazards. For example, EN388 is used to assess protection against mechanical risks such as cut and abrasion. Understanding these standards helps you compare gloves more accurately and select the right level of protection. We break this down in our EN388 explained resource, so you can interpret ratings in a more practical way.
In most cases, no. Different tasks introduce different risks, and a glove designed for one hazard may not provide the right level of protection for another. For example, a glove designed for cut resistance will not necessarily protect against chemicals or impact. Selecting gloves based on the task helps ensure the protection is appropriate and reduces the risk of compromise.
Safety gloves are part of a wider approach to managing risk. When you select gloves based on task and risk, and use them consistently across teams, they support safer working practices and help reduce injury rates. At Traffi, we work with organisations to align glove selection with risk assessments and real working environments, helping you build a more structured and effective safety approach.
Testing gloves in real working conditions allows you to see how they perform before making a wider decision. This includes comfort, durability, grip, and how well they are accepted by the people wearing them. We always recommend trialling gloves where possible, as this gives you a clearer understanding of suitability and helps you make more confident decisions.
If you want a broader understanding of glove types, materials, and performance, you can explore Traffi’s ultimate guide to safety gloves. It provides a detailed overview of how different gloves are used and what to consider when selecting hand protection for different tasks and environments.
