Gloves & Hands Protection Suppliers
Hand injuries are one of the most common incidents at sea. Mooring, cargo handling, engine room work, tank cleaning and cold weather deck jobs all put hands directly in contact with sharp edges, moving gear, chemicals or hot surfaces. For shipowners, superintendents and chief officers, the practical task is to ensure crews have the right glove for each job.
Mechanical, Chemical, Heat and Cold Protection on Board
On a typical vessel, you will usually see a small group of glove types repeated across different tasks:
- Mechanical handling gloves for mooring, cargo work and general deck/engine room jobs, certified for abrasion, cut and puncture protection.
- Cut-resistant gloves for handling steel, wire ropes, sharp plate edges and lashings.
- Chemical resistant gloves for tank cleaning, chemicals, sewage treatment and aggressive cleaning agents.
- Heat and welding gloves for hot work and working on hot machinery, turbochargers, exhausts or galley ovens.
- Cold-protection gloves for refrigerated spaces and cold-weather deck work.
- Disposable / medical gloves for first aid, hygiene and some light cleaning tasks.
Gloves should be selected based on a simple risk view: what can damage the hands (mechanical, chemical, thermal, cold), and how much touch sensitivity is needed. Thin mechanical or cut-resistant gloves may be right for detailed engine work, while heavy welding or chemical gloves are needed when heat or liquids are the main hazard. It is equally important to know where gloves should not be used - for example, loose or bulky gloves around rotating machinery, where entanglement is a real risk.
Keeping Hands Safe on Deck and in the Engine Room with Records Marine
Hands protection suppliers are easiest to work with when they can cover your main tasks with a consistent, certified range and keep those models available across your main ports. Buyers will usually look at whether a supplier can offer all types of gloves in suitable sizes, with clear markings and documentation to support the vessel’s SMS and inspections.
Records Marine gives you a structured way to reach such partners. Within the platform you can identify Gloves & Hands Protection distributors focused on marine operations, review their product scope and regions, and then contact a shortlist directly to align glove ranges, standards and stock positions with your fleet’s real work on deck and in the engine room.
