Impact injuries are a common challenge across industrial and logistics environments, yet many teams rely on PPE specifications that do not always reflect how impact protection is tested or what the ratings truly mean in practice.
Our new help sheet, Understanding Impact Protection, explains the key differences between EN 388:2016+A1:2018 and ANSI/ISEA 138, two globally recognised standards that take notably different approaches to assessing back-of-hand protection.
For safety managers, specifiers, and anyone selecting gloves for impact-related tasks, understanding these differences is essential to choosing PPE that is fit for purpose and wearable for the full working day.
Download the help sheet to explore the two standards and make confident, informed PPE decisions for your teams.
It is clear, practical, and designed to support better protection without compromising comfort or performance.
