A quick visual reminder that glove fit is practical, not cosmetic. If the size range on site is too narrow, comfort, dexterity and even touchscreen performance can all suffer.

Why businesses ask for a glove survey

Many teams keep buying the same gloves because they are familiar, not because they are still the best fit for the work. Over time that can lead to unnecessary spend, poor wearer acceptance and avoidable hand injury risk.

It is also common to find that gloves are available on site but are not being worn consistently, often because the fit is wrong, the glove feels too bulky for the job or the wearer does not trust it for the task.

One of the biggest practical problems is touchscreen use. Employers may provide touchscreen gloves, but if the glove size is wrong the touchscreen function often becomes unreliable. That leads users to take the gloves off to check a phone, scanner or handheld device, and then resume work with unprotected hands.

Worth reviewing: if 70% of lost working days involve cases where gloves were not being worn, then glove selection, glove fit and glove usability all matter just as much as stock availability.

What We Review

What the survey looks at

Whether the glove being used is right for the task and risk level.
Whether the size spread on site reflects the workforce properly.
Whether users are trading protection for comfort, dexterity or convenience.
How much you are spending each year and how quickly gloves are being used.
Whether washable gloves could improve value through lower cost per wear.

Why size and fit deserve proper attention

Correct glove size is not just a comfort issue. The right fit can improve wearer acceptance, dexterity and control, while the wrong fit can undermine all three.

If the glove is too loose, grip and fine handling can suffer and the glove may feel clumsy for detailed work.
If the glove is too tight, comfort and movement can suffer, which often makes users less likely to keep the glove on.
Touchscreen gloves often stop working properly if the fit is wrong, which can encourage wearers to remove them to use a phone or device and then carry on working with bare hands.
Picking up small items, even something as simple as a pin, can become harder when fit and dexterity are not matched to the task.
If you employ female workers, it is especially important to make sure the available size range reflects the workforce rather than relying on a narrow standard issue.

If you need the practical measuring side as well, see our glove size guide.

Task, dexterity and standards still matter

The right glove is not always the glove you have always bought. The task itself needs reviewing too.

If your team uses Stanley knives or handles sharp materials, the glove needs the right level of mechanical protection for the task, not just a familiar label.
Where relevant, we help you look at performance requirements such as EN 388 alongside comfort and usability.
Dexterity matters: as a simple analogy, gauge 7 is more like a piece of rope, while gauge 21 is more like a piece of string.
The aim is not to buy the thinnest glove or the cheapest glove. It is to find the right balance of protection, durability and control for the job.

The survey is also about saving money

Glove choice should be reviewed as a spend category, not just a safety line on a purchase order.

We can look at spend per year, usage per month and whether the current glove is actually the best value in use.
If gloves are washable, we can help you think in terms of cost per wash or cost per wear rather than just unit price.
A glove that lasts longer, gets worn more consistently or reduces waste can be better value even if the unit price is higher.
In many cases, businesses are simply using the wrong glove type because the same product has been ordered for years without a proper review.
