I was expecting to see something from Lara by now... maybe she is on vacation. Wish I was! Thanks for your help!

Jason, in that case, you may want to continue to pursue your specific requirements directly with the companies that specialize in anti-vibration. I am sure they would love getting some direct end-user feedback to use for future product development.

Thanks for the suggestion Dave, was hoping to find a form fitting glove with both of those properties since they need fingertip dexterity for handling small objects. We currently use 'Showa 540D' cut resistant gloves with 'Ergotech' palm anti-vibration gloves. The combo works but is kinda bulky.

I was finally able to convince the boss to go Kevlar, and as of today, our Trim Dept. is the first to have Kevlar gloves as a MANDATORY PPE. Within the next 30 days, we will be Kevlar mandatory facility wide...

Jason, you may want to investigate Impacto Protective Products. They offer some anti-vibration glove products made with Kevlar® for cut protection. Styles BG790-00 and BG790-40.

Does anyone know if anyone manufactures a glove that is both, cut-resistant AND anti-shock? We have a position in our company where an employee swings a mallet and pounds knives into wood for 10-12 hours. They must have cut protection, but we are also seeing many MSD injuries due to the constant shock and vibration traveling down the mallet handle and into the employees hand, wrist, and forearm. Does anyone know if such a glove exists? We have found gloves that do one, but not the other. I'm looking for the ultimate solution that encompasses both of our needs in one glove. Thanks for any help you can offer!

Hi to all, I work in the glass industry and feel that this group will increase my knowledge and give me some good insights and ideas.
Paul Brown Comment by Paul Brown on March 3, 2009 at 2:52pm
Trying to broaden my knowledge of cut-resistant technologies and wondered if anyone had any insight to share about HexArmor, Koreflex (Damascus), or TurtleSkin? Just looking for some basic info on what exactly they consist of (are they engineered yarns?) and some performance data.

Thanks.

If anyone is interested, there are two excellent articles on hand protection in the August issue of OH&S. One is on Wash and Wear by Cherilyn Nelson Ph.D of Ansell Healthcare and the other is The Right Gloves Are Out There by Jennifer Stroschein, Associate Editor-Food Market for J.J. Keller.
