In high-risk industries such as construction, manufacturing, and food processing, workers’ hands face constant threats from sharp tools, machinery, and abrasive materials. Choosing reliable protective gloves is one of the key steps to ensuring workplace safety. Among these, cut-resistant gloves are widely used for handling sharp objects or operating machinery, thanks to their outstanding protective performance. They effectively reduce the risk of cuts, abrasions, and tearing injuries.
This guide provides a comprehensive overview of cut-resistant gloves to help companies and employers make informed decisions when selecting protective gloves. Matching the right glove type to different job roles and choosing the correct size not only improves worker comfort but also ensures full safety protection in daily operations, significantly reducing workplace injuries and maximizing the true value of cut-resistant gloves.
1. Understanding Glove Tests and Ratings
EN388
EN388 is the European standard for protective gloves. It evaluates glove performance through a series of tests and assigns corresponding ratings, helping users select suitable gloves based on specific work needs. Rating results are shown in a pictogram followed by four numbers and two letters, each representing the glove’s performance against different hazards.
Although EN388 is widely recognized worldwide, the ANSI/ISEA 105 standard is more commonly used in the United States because it aligns better with local industry practices and regulatory requirements. Both standards assess abrasion resistance, cut resistance, tear resistance, puncture resistance, and impact protection—but use different testing methods and rating systems.
ANSI/ISEA 105-2016
ANSI/ISEA 105-2016 uses strict testing methods to ensure workers receive proper protection. The standard provides a unified way to evaluate cut resistance, abrasion resistance, and puncture resistance across industries, helping employers select appropriate protective gloves based on specific hazards.
