I a in the Glass industy as well and hope that this will give me better ideas not only for hand protection, but for the rest of the body as well.  We have found a shirt that works well, but are looking for chaps or aprons.  Any suggestions?

To my knowledge, there are no cut resistant gloves that are both wwashable and food safety compliant. However, what I have recommended to some clients asking for these multiple uses is to get oversized disposable food safety compliant gloves to we worn over a low mil cut resistant glove.

 

@Jason, I would recomend the exact opttosite for your workers who are going to be using hammers all day. Get some thin cut resistant gloves and have some anti-shock gloves worn over them.

 

All of these gloves are avaliable at legionsafety.com

Let me know if there are any further questions.

I have one question. I`m not able ask workmen too use cut resistance gloves on  food safety gloves due to high humidity.

Does any one can recommend me to cut resistance gloves which is washable and also complying food safety standard?

For the CR glove experts out there... I have about 103 cut resistant gloves on SafetyEcho.com right now, including full line-ups of Ansell and Showa Best.  If there's a fantastic manufacturer that I'm missing, let me know.  So far I just have Ansell, Showa Best, and Superior

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!

My Personal Safety Quotes that I use in conferences and management training programs

Over the years I have come up with several of my own safety and leadership quotations that I have used in either in conferences, meetings or training sessions.  Sometimes you can say just a few words and the message sticks with people for the rest of their lives.   I have put below a few of my favourites that I have had success with when trying to make people accept their responsibilities and actual become actual leaders. …See More
