General Handling Gloves in Singapore: Everyday Hand Protection for Industry
General handling gloves are the workhorse PPE on most Singapore production lines, warehouses, logistics yards, and maintenance bays. At Phil Industries, we supply Polyco Healthline general handling gloves in Singapore for electronics assembly, semiconductor back-end, contract manufacturing, marine and offshore, food and beverage, pharmaceutical packaging, and 3PL warehousing across the island and the wider Southeast Asia region.
Why General Handling Gloves Matter on a Singapore Worksite
First, the basics. Most workplace hand injuries reported under Singapore’s Workplace Safety and Health Act involve abrasions, cuts, and pinch points during routine handling — not catastrophic events. As a result, the right general handling glove cuts incident rates, supports bizSAFE assessments, and improves dexterity for repetitive tasks.
Therefore, every Polyco general handling glove we stock is rated to EN 388:2016 for abrasion, cut, tear, and puncture, with palm coatings and liners chosen for grip in dry, light-oil, and wet conditions common in Singapore’s humid environment. In short, you get a glove that the operator actually keeps on, which is half the battle won.

Choosing the Right General Handling Glove for Your Application
In addition, glove selection is not just about the EN 388 score. Furthermore, you also need to consider grip type (smooth, foam, sandy nitrile), liner gauge (13-gauge for dexterity, 10-gauge for durability), cuff style, and whether the workstation handles oily or dry parts. Our team helps Singapore manufacturers match the glove to the actual task, not just the spec sheet.
Compliance, Sizing, and Bulk Supply
Consequently, Phil Industries stocks Polyco general handling gloves in full size runs (XS to XXL) and in case quantities suitable for SME workshops through to large multinational plants. We also support MOM workplace safety audits, ISO 45001 documentation, and customer-specific PPE matrices. Delivery is typically next working day within Singapore.
Frequently Asked Questions — General Handling Gloves
What are general handling gloves used for?
General handling (general purpose) gloves protect against everyday abrasion, dirt and minor mechanical risks in assembly, warehousing, logistics and maintenance, while keeping good grip and dexterity. They are rated under EN 388 for mechanical performance.
What does the EN 388 rating tell me?
It rates abrasion (1 to 4), cut (1 to 5), tear and puncture (1 to 4). For general handling, mid-range abrasion and grip usually matter most; high cut levels are only needed for sharp-edge work.
Coated or uncoated — which should I choose?
PU or nitrile-coated palms give better grip and abrasion resistance for dry and oily handling; uncoated knitted gloves suit light, clean tasks. We help match the coating to your environment.
Do you supply general handling gloves in bulk in Singapore?
Yes. We stock general handling gloves in case quantities for manufacturing, logistics and maintenance, with next-working-day delivery and volume pricing.
