Q.What are the levels of cut resistant gloves?
A.The cut resistance standard from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and International Safety Equipment Association (ISEA) classifies gloves with nine levels of cut protection. A higher number indicates that the glove's material required a higher weight to cut it with a sharp blade.
Q.What protection level should gloves provide?
A.It depends on the application and work being performed. While choosing protective gloves, one must consider the hazards involved. Gloves with a nitrile palm coating protect against chemicals and provide abrasion resistance and enhanced grip. Gloves with HPPE/steel/fiberglass blend shell protect from cut hazards. Knowing the application and environment is critical in ensuring proper hand protection.
