The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that 30% of injured workers were wearing the wrong type of glove for the job. At PRO-SAFE®, they work with you to find the right combination of cut resistance, grip, dexterity, coverage, thermal protection and weight for your specific needs.
Here’s the key to knowing which gloves are right for which tasks: cut scores. These scores are based on two types of standard tests for abrasion, cut, tear and puncture protection. Although this testing is not mandated by the U.S. government, these are the industry standards that safety managers everywhere use to select cut protection gear.
Before choosing any gloves, conduct a comprehensive hand protection analysis in your facility, especially if your work environment:
Proper cut protection means understanding the cut risks of the job and different technology that is specifically designed for each task.
PRO-SAFE® cut-resistant gloves are tested to the latest ANSI standards for abrasion, cut, tear and puncture. The new ANSI cut levels make it easier to select the exact glove you need.

Working with safety industry experts at PRO-SAFE® is a critical part of developing proper protocols and ensuring that your employees have the right level of cut protection for each job.
When evaluating how much cut protection you need, start with asking the right questions about the risk of hand/finger-related injuries in your facilities.
Different fabrics are designed to protect against different types of cut risks.
The difference between a non-reportable injury (small cut) and a reportable one is only a fraction of a gram of force, making the right cut protection level absolutely critical.
PRO-SAFE® scores are determined by both ANSI-105 (the industry standard in the U.S.) and EN 388 (European) testing standards. The ANSI-105 testing method combines vertical edge force with linear blade movement to provide cut protection levels from A1 (lightest cut protection) to A9 (most cut protection).
Consider the type of injury risk to help determine the right glove for each task.
