Bennett takes you into the inner workings of ANSI to explain why it is that glove ratings for the major mechanical risks we've been describing are not automatically available for every glove. Along the way, he explains why differences in the laws result in European ratings sometimes showing up on gloves sold in the U.S.
Emily describes what puncture risks are as opposed to other specific risks and how gloves are tested for their ability to resist them.
Bennett describes the ANSI cut test, how to tell if the rating is a true ANSI cut rating, and how improvements in glove technology led to a revision in the test scale. You can read our blog on cut risks HERE.
Emily kicks off our series on work glove risks and ratings by giving an overview of the topics to be covered in future episodes. Click HERE for more information on the series.
