FAQs

The best thermal gloves for your team will depend on various factors:

  • Consider the temperature of the work environment.
  • Assess the level of abrasion protection your team needs.
  • Determine whether your team is working indoors or outdoors.
  • Decide if thermal work gloves need to be worn under other gloves.

It’s always best to do a risk assessment in cold environments.

This makes sure workers are given adequate cold store clothing and cold protection PPE.

Yes! Thermal gloves are an essential PPE item and should be part of standard workwear for teams in cold environments.

Thermal workwear gloves are used to protect hands from cold and sub-zero temperatures.

They tend to be thicker than other workwear gloves, but still allow a high level of tactile sensitivity.

Thermal gloves also need to have enhanced grip features to ensure workers can operate cold equipment and machinery.

Thermal gloves tend to come in two types known as ‘levels’.

These levels indicate how many layers of resistant material the gloves are made with.

Level 1:

  • Made with one layer
  • Offers a low level of grip
  • Moderate abrasion resistance
  • Suitable for general work tasks

Level 2:

  • Made with two layers
  • Offers a high level of grip
  • Better abrasion resistance
  • Suitable for more specialised work

Both types will offer a strong level of cold protection.
