Importance of High-Visibility Gloves in Winter Work
Reduced daylight hours and adverse weather conditions during winter can significantly reduce visibility on worksites. High-visibility gloves, featuring fluorescent colors and reflective strips, improve safety by making workers’ hands clearly visible to colleagues and machinery operators. Combined with thermal insulation, these gloves ensure hands stay warm without compromising safety.
Certified gloves comply with EN 511 (cold protection) and EN ISO 20471 (high visibility) standards, guaranteeing quality and performance.
