MCR Safety has over forty years of experience as a leader in the field of personal protective equipment (PPE). Our assortment of offerings includes gloves, glasses, and garments which are made from the highest quality materials available to ensure maximum safety, comfort, and style.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) states that 143,900 hand injuries were reported in 2015, the latest data available. They further note that the average time away from work was five days. Yet OSHA reports that 70% of workers aren’t wearing protective gloves. It’s clear that more can be done to protect worker’s hands to avoid these injuries.
One step toward reducing injuries is selecting the right glove cut level for the task at hand. This requires a close review of the cut level needed, followed by selecting just the right glove that minimizes the cut risk while maximizing flexibility for the task.

I have an area in my department that handles small stainless steel blanks that have an oily coating. We are currently using A7 Cut Resistant gloves but I'm having a hard time finding a glove that has the cut protection, non-oil absorbing and has good dexterity. Also, I'm wondering if a A5 Cut Resistant glove would work and provide the characteristics above.
