Cut protection gloves
Cut protection gloves
Cut protection gloves are specially developed for use in work environments where there is a risk of more serious cut injuries, for example in workshops, sheet metal shops, the automotive and food industries.
Cut protection gloves are divided into specific protection classes based on how well they withstand different types of mechanical violence and it is important to choose the right level for the current work environment and the type of job to be performed. For packaging, simpler assembly work, inspection and the like, gloves in a slightly lower protection class may be sufficient. These can be made of anything from leather to Kevlar. A higher rated cut protection glove is usually made of synthetic material reinforced with steel or fiberglass threads.
Most often, it is also provided with some form of surface coating, such as PU or nitrile, which provides improved grip properties and also resists moisture, oils and chemicals. A cut protection glove in level 5 provides adequate protection both against tearing, abrasion, cutting and stabbing injuries and is perfect for high-risk work where you continuously handle sharp knives and other sharp objects. At Arbetsskydd Express, we have a wide range of certified cut protection gloves in various protection classes from industry-leading quality brands such as Tegera, Worksafe, ATG, Gloves Pro, Ox-On and Portwest.
