\"GloveSizeImage\"<\/a>With June as National Safety Month, Cole-Parmer puts the spotlight on Lab Safety items to protect workers. Today, our focus is on safety gloves and how the right fit actually enhances safety.<\/p>\n

To make sure you get safety gloves<\/a> that fit, measure the circumference of your hand around the palm area with fingers together and hand relaxed. This measurement in inches is closest to your actual glove size. For example, 7\u2033 is equal to a size 7 glove. Sizes may vary between different manufacturers and styles. Except where mentioned, gloves are sized according to men\u2019s hands. For easy size comparison, see table below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
