About Glove Accessories

Glove accessories are specialist workplace organisers and testing equipment designed to support proper hand protection practices across professional trade and industrial environments. MyToolShed.co.uk stocks magnetic dispensers for convenient wall-mounting, pneumatic testing equipment to verify glove integrity, and secure wrist straps that prevent loss of valuable protective gloves on site. These supporting products ensure disposable and reusable gloves remain organised, accessible, and maintained to HSE standards.

From magnetic glove box holders by Sealey and Draper that mount securely in workshops and garages, to Facom SLS wrist straps for working at height, and pneumatic glove testers for compliance verification—MyToolShed provides essential accessories that improve workflow efficiency whilst maintaining safety standards. Whether you're organising a busy automotive workshop, managing PPE across construction sites, or maintaining compliance in manufacturing facilities, the right glove accessories keep protective equipment in optimal condition and readily available where needed.

Applications

Glove accessories serve professionals across numerous trades and industries:

• Motor Vehicle Technicians: Mechanics and auto electricians requiring contamination-free access to disposable nitrile gloves
• Manufacturing Operatives: Production line workers needing organised glove dispensing at multiple workstations
• Construction Workers: Site operatives working at height who need secure wrist straps to prevent dropping specialist gloves
• Maintenance Engineers: Plant maintenance teams responsible for PPE compliance testing and equipment verification
• Laboratory Technicians: Scientific professionals requiring hygienic glove storage and regular integrity testing
• Health & Safety Officers: Compliance professionals testing and maintaining protective equipment across organisations
• Agricultural Workers: Farm workers handling chemicals who require glove testing and secure storage
• Food Production Staff: Workers in food processing where hygiene regulations demand proper glove dispensing

Choosing The Right Glove Accessories

Consider Your Working Environment: Magnetic dispensers work perfectly in garages and manufacturing settings with metal surfaces, whilst freestanding holders suit site cabins. Consider exposure to oils, solvents, and workshop chemicals when selecting materials.

Match to Your Glove Type: Ensure dispensers accommodate the size and format of gloves you regularly use—standard disposable boxes, larger industrial packs, or specialist examination gloves. Wrist straps should suit the weight and bulk of reusable protective gloves.

Assess Compliance Requirements: If you work in regulated industries or handle hazardous materials, pneumatic glove testers become essential equipment. Check HSE requirements for your sector regarding glove integrity testing frequency and documentation.

Evaluate Mounting Options: Magnetic holders offer quick repositioning without permanent fixings, ideal for rental premises. Mount dispensers at convenient working height (1.2-1.5 metres) in high-traffic areas where contamination-free access matters most.

Think About Capacity: High-volume users in busy workshops may benefit from dispensers accommodating multiple boxes, reducing restocking frequency across larger facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should protective gloves be tested with pneumatic equipment?

Testing frequency depends on glove type and application. Electrical insulating gloves typically require testing every six months under HSE guidance, whilst chemical-resistant gloves should be tested before each use if integrity is critical to safety. Consult manufacturer specifications and your risk assessment to establish appropriate testing intervals.

Can magnetic glove dispensers damage disposable gloves?

No—magnetic dispensers hold the cardboard or plastic outer packaging, not the gloves themselves. Quality dispensers feature smooth surfaces and appropriate sizing that protect packaging integrity whilst allowing easy single-glove dispensing. They actually help prevent glove damage by keeping boxes secure and protected from workshop contamination.

Where should I position glove dispensers for best hygiene and accessibility?

Mount dispensers at comfortable working height near task areas where gloves are frequently needed—adjacent to workbenches, vehicle hoists, or entry points to controlled areas. Position away from grinding operations, welding areas, or locations where sparks and hot debris could damage stored gloves.
