why choose blackrock?

Blackrock has almost 20 years of experience in designing and manufacturing work gloves and our products keep hundreds of thousands of people safe every year. Here are some key reasons our customers trust us.

hand protection

A wide-ranging selection of work gloves designed for the most demanding and toughest work and commercial environments.

Created using materials to ensure all applications are covered, from ultra-dextrous, detailed component work - to conditions where cold, rough work demands high-grip, thermal protection.

EN ISO 21420:2020

This standard sets out general requirements and test methods and has superseded EN 420:2003+A1:2009. As a specifier, buyer or user of protective gloves you need to be assured that gloves certified to EN 388:2016 have also passed EN ISO 21420:2020 in order to achieve a Mechanical Hazard Rating (MHR).

Key requirements of EN21420:2020 are:

Glove design and construction

The time it takes to put on and take off is minimised.

Innocuousness

Gloves are tested to ensure they do not adversely affect the health of the wearer. Under normal use the glove materials must not release any restricted substances listed in the standard, which would otherwise come into contact with the skin.

Comfort and efficiency

This section relates to various factors including sizing and dexterity. Sizing is based on the hand size stated on the glove, and circumference and length are measured. There may be some gloves which have minimum lengths dependent on their use, but which is not necessarily specified; these can be detailed in the user information sheet provided with the gloves.

Dexterity is graded by the diameter of the smallest steel pin that can be picked up from a flat surface three times in 30 seconds.

EN388:2016+A1:2018

To help support your choice of gloves once a risk assessment has taken place; EN388 is the standard which is designed to assess the performance of the materials used in glove manufacture against the mechanical hazards of abrasion, blade cut, tear, puncture and, if applicable, impact. Gloves which conform to the standard are marked with a shield and the numbers and letters which relate to the levels of protection afforded to that glove once tested.

4X44C

EN 511:2006

Gloves certified to this standard are intended to protect the wearer from convective and contact cold.

The different performance levels are marked under a pictogram showing the standard plus the performance levels 1-4, where 4 denotes the highest level.

Convective cold (cold that penetrates)

Contact cold (direct contact)

masks and filters

Our range of dust masks ensure you’re protected in every situation where you encounter hazardous substances, fumes and particles. With advanced 3 layer filtration materials and new technology like our Eazi-breathe exhalation valve allows more air movement away from your face, our masks keep you safe when it matters.

Our Eazi-Breathe respirators have an Assigned Protection Factor (APF) of 10 for FFP2 respirators and 20 for FFP3 respirators.

But what does APF mean and why is it relevant?

The Assigned Protection factor is the level of respiratory protection that a respirator is expected to provide employees in the workplace.

An APF factor of 10 means that no more than one tenth of the contaminants to which a worker is exposed will leak into the mask, equivalent to 94% filter effectiveness. APF of 20 gives you 99% filter efficiency.

HEAD PROTECTION

An essential part of your PPE, if you’ve identified the potential risk of impact from falling objects in the workplace, is head protection. All our safety helmets and bump caps comply with relevant safety standards EN397 and EN812, with adjustable inserts or fastenings to make sure your head protection fits well and vents to circulate air to ensure your comfort.

Protective headwear needs to absorb the shock of a blow, stop any penetration by objects, resist water and burn slowly – the shell, harness and headband will all help with making a more comfortable wearer experience.

hearing protection

Any loss of hearing can have a massive effect to someone’s life, and it’s why having a risk assessment which includes noise meter readings is crucial to ensure sound levels aren’t excessive. Our range of hearing protection is concise but covers you for all levels of noise reduction.

What is SNR? Standard Noise Reduction value is a European standard. This gives you an indication of the comparison between different ear defenders and ear plugs. The higher the value, the greater the noise reduction, it’s basically an indication of the functionality of a device and the ability of that device to protect your hearing in noisy environments.

However, they can have different effects whether you’re in the vicinity of (H) High, (M) Medium or (L) Low frequencies. Ear protection weakens lower tones differently to higher ones, which is why it’s crucial to always do a noise meter reading to identify what SNR you require.

This covers so many aspects of PPE, from protective knee pads to high visibility garments to coveralls. Various standards are in play which are detailed with each product.

High Visibility is covered by EN20471, and be assured that all our garments are tested, certified and have due diligence testing ongoing, and as long as you are aware of what Classification you need when you’ve done your risk assessment then you know you can put your trust in our garments. However, be careful if you’re having logos printed on them as it can take the classification down, but we can advise you on this.

Coveralls can be for general use, or if you are needing a higher specification our Premium Coverall– with Type 5/6 gives you increased protection - your risk assessment will highlight this requirement.
