What Are Impact Resistant Gloves?
Impact-resistant gloves are work gloves designed to help protect the hands during suitable tasks involving knocks, contact and handling hazards.
Many designs use reinforced areas around the fingers or back of the hand.
They may also include:
- Durable palms
- Grip surfaces
- Flexible materials
- Reinforced sections
- Secure wrist closures
Protection varies by glove.
Therefore, check the exact product specification before use.
Impact Resistant Gloves for Industrial Work
Industrial workers may handle:
- Machinery
- Tools
- Metal components
- Equipment
- Building materials
- Mechanical parts
- Heavy workplace items
Suitable impact gloves can help where workers face contact and handling hazards.
However, impact protection should be considered together with other risks such as:
- Cuts
- Abrasion
- Chemicals
- Heat
- Electricity
- Oil
- Moisture
One glove may not cover every hazard.
Impact Resistant Gloves for Construction
Construction workers may handle:
- Steel components
- Timber
- Blocks
- Pipes
- Tools
- Machinery
- Building materials
Impact-resistant gloves may be useful where workers need both grip and additional hand protection during material handling.

Impact Gloves for Mechanical Work
Mechanical and workshop tasks can expose hands to:
- Tools
- Vehicle parts
- Fasteners
- Machinery
- Metal components
- Equipment
A suitable impact glove can support grip and hand protection during selected tasks.
Good fit is also important because workers still need enough dexterity to handle tools safely.
Impact Resistant Gloves for Maintenance
Maintenance teams may move between several different jobs.
These can involve:
- Repairs
- Equipment servicing
- Tool handling
- Machinery maintenance
- Component handling
- General industrial work
Before selecting gloves, identify the main hand hazard for each task.
Impact Resistant Gloves for Automotive Work
Automotive technicians may use impact gloves for suitable mechanical and handling tasks.
Typical work may involve:
- Vehicle components
- Engines
- Hand tools
- Workshop equipment
- Metal parts
Always assess sharp edges, oils, chemicals and heat separately.
Impact Gloves for Heavy Handling
Workers handling heavy materials may face repeated contact with tools, equipment and workplace objects.
Impact-resistant gloves may provide added protection in suitable applications.
However, glove selection should still consider:
- Material weight
- Grip
- Surface condition
- Sharp edges
- Frequency of handling
- Required dexterity
Back-of-Hand Protection
Many impact-resistant glove designs focus on protecting vulnerable areas on the back of the hand and fingers.
This can be useful where workers may accidentally strike or contact:
- Equipment
- Tools
- Machinery
- Materials
- Workplace structures
The exact level of protection depends on the glove design and documented performance.
Grip for Industrial Handling
Grip is important when handling tools and workplace materials.
A high-grip palm can help improve control during suitable:
- Tool use
- Mechanical work
- Construction
- Material handling
- Maintenance
However, grip can change when surfaces are:
- Wet
- Oily
- Dirty
- Chemically contaminated
Consider the actual working environment.
Impact Resistance vs Cut Resistance
Impact and cut resistance are different protection properties.
Impact Resistance
Impact protection focuses on suitable knocks, contact and impact hazards.
Cut Resistance
Cut protection focuses on sharp materials and edges.
Some gloves may provide both properties.
However, where a specific cut level is required, check the documented glove rating.
For dedicated cut protection, browse Cut Resistant Gloves in Kenya.
Impact Resistant vs Leather Gloves
Leather gloves are often used for:
- General handling
- Loading
- Abrasion protection
- Construction work
- Maintenance
Impact-resistant gloves add features intended to protect against suitable contact or impact hazards.
The best option depends on the task.
For general work gloves, browse Leather Gloves in Kenya.
Impact Resistant Gloves and Abrasion
Industrial work can expose glove surfaces to friction and rough materials.
Abrasion resistance can therefore be important for:
- Construction
- Loading
- Mechanical work
- Material handling
- Maintenance
However, abrasion resistance does not automatically confirm impact or cut performance.
Each property should be checked separately.
How to Choose Impact Resistant Gloves
Use this simple process:
Task → Impact Hazard → Other Hazards → Required Rating → Grip → Fit
1. Define the Task
Start with what the worker actually does.
2. Identify the Impact Hazard
Check whether the hands may contact:
- Tools
- Equipment
- Machinery
- Heavy materials
- Hard workplace surfaces
3. Identify Other Hazards
Also consider:
- Cuts
- Abrasion
- Chemicals
- Heat
- Electricity
- Moisture
4. Check the Required Rating
Where a workplace or tender requires a specific performance level, verify the exact glove documentation.
5. Check Grip
Workers should be able to hold tools and materials securely.
6. Check Fit
The glove should fit securely without unnecessarily restricting hand movement.
EN 388 and Impact Resistant Gloves
EN 388 may be relevant to gloves tested for mechanical hazards.
However, do not assume every impact-resistant glove has the same EN 388 performance.
Where your workplace or tender requires:
- Abrasion performance
- Cut resistance
- Tear resistance
- Puncture resistance
- Impact performance
check the exact glove markings and manufacturer documentation.
A category name alone does not confirm a performance level.
Inspect Impact Resistant Gloves Before Use
Reusable work gloves should be inspected regularly.
Check:
- Palm
- Fingers
- Back-of-hand protection
- Seams
- Wrist closure
- Grip areas
Look for:
- Tears
- Holes
- Worn palms
- Loose stitching
- Damaged protective sections
- Reduced grip
- Excessive contamination
Replace damaged gloves where protection may be affected.
