What do the ANSI cut levels mean and how can I choose the right level of protection for my needs?

The ANSI cut levels range from 0 to 5, with 5 being the highest level of protection. The level of cut resistance you need depends on the hazards present in your workplace. You should consult with a safety professional or review the risk assessment for your job to determine the appropriate level of protection.

Are all cut-resistant gloves ANSI-compliant?

No, not all cut-resistant gloves are ANSI-compliant. Gloves must be tested and certified to meet the ANSI standards. When selecting gloves, look for the ANSI rating on the label or packaging.
