The American National Standards Institute provides a gripping guide on cut-resistant gloves needed for different types of jobs. Covering protection across a scale from A1 (minimal) to A9 (extreme), they cater to a range of tasks, from handling cardboard and plastic to working with heavy sheet metal and glass. A2 and A3 are for light tasks, A4 and A5 for medium intensity chores, while A6 to A7 offer heavy duty protection. For truly extreme tasks, one should opt for A8 to A9.
One should also take into account other job hazards like impact and abrasion as well. Furthermore, some gloves are enhanced with coatings such as nitrile or polyurethane to significantly improve the grip. All in all, these gloves are essential for ensuring safety in diverse work environments.
