Hand injuries one of the most costly and preventable workplace risks across Australia.

According to Safe Work Australia, over 40% of all workplace injuries involve the hands or fingers. Even more concerning, studies show that 70% of injured workers were not wearing gloves — or were wearing gloves not suited to the task.

For Australian businesses, the financial impact is staggering. Hand injuries cost over $2.5 billion annually in treatment, claims, retraining and lost productivity.

For industries such as construction, mining, logistics, manufacturing and energy — where crush, impact and pinch injuries are common — this isn’t just a safety issue. It’s a business risk.

At Industree Group, we design impact-rated gloves specifically to reduce this risk and keep workers protected on high-impact sites.

Why standard gloves aren't enough

Traditional leather or general-purpose gloves provide abrasion resistance — but they don’t protect against:

• Crush injuries
• Back-of-hand impact
• Pinch points
• Heavy material handling
• Tool and equipment vibration

Modern worksites demand gloves that absorb and deflect impact without sacrificing grip, dexterity or comfort.

That’s where our Impact Glove range delivers.

PITBULL® LockJaw Leather Impact Rigger 5F

A heavy-duty impact glove designed for construction, mining and civil environments. Featuring full back-of-hand TPR protection, 5-finger impact coverage and a premium leather palm, it delivers maximum defence against crush and impact injuries. The LockJaw cuff and reinforced stitching enhance fit and durability, making it ideal for high-force applications where reliability is critical.

EPIC® Morphlex 5FP A6 Impact Safety Glove

A lightweight, flexible impact glove engineered for precision tasks. With flexible TPR protection across fingers and knuckles, a breathable liner and high-grip palm coating, it offers superior dexterity without sacrificing safety. Ideal for logistics, mechanical trades and manufacturing, it encourages consistent wear through comfort and mobility —reducing risk from improper glove selection.

The Business Case for Impact Gloves

Hand injuries are not just painful — they are expensive.

Costs include:

• Workers compensation claims
• Medical treatment
• Lost-time incidents
• Productivity disruption
• Replacement labour
• Increased insurance premiums

With hand injuries ranking as the second most common workplace injury globally, proactive protection is no longer optional.

Upgrading to impact-rated gloves like PITBULL® and EPIC® Morphlex:

✔ Reduces injury risk

✔ Supports regulatory compliance

✔ Minimises lost-time incidents

✔ Protects your workforce

✔ Protects your bottom line

Safety Is an Investment — Not an Expense

The data is clear. Regulatory focus on impact-rated hand protection continues to increase across high-risk industries.

Choosing the right glove isn’t about ticking a box — it’s about reducing real business risk.

At Industree Group, our impact glove range is designed for Australian worksites, backed by industry knowledge and supported by a national distribution network. If hand injuries are costing your site time and money, it’s time to upgrade your hand protection strategy.
