Questions & Comments
Today I am going to provide you with a quick overview of the hand protection industry, give you some guidelines on choosing, and discuss the standards in place within the hand protection industry.
I will provide you with some background information on glove features including designs and glove terminology. I will spend the majority of our time today discussing the features and benefits of Best’s general purpose products as well as highlighting appropriate industries and applications for each glove.
Please feel free to ask questions throughout the presentation. I want this to be an informal discussion and I welcome your comments at any time.

3. About the Hand Protection Industry
Hand injuries are the second-leading cause of injury in the workplace.
Effective hand protection can minimize or eliminate many injuries and long-term debilitating consequences.
Evolution of the hand protection industry has come a long way since the advent of simple chore gloves made of cotton, jersey or bulky canvas.
Number one category for PPE
According to OSHA, eye injuries are the leading cause of lost days at work due to on-the-job injuries; however, hand injuries also contribute to a significant number of lost days on the job.
The proper hand protection can often minimize or eliminate the problem. It is just a matter of educating employees on the purpose for and proper use of hand protection.
The industry is changing quickly and it is important to be aware of the options available to you.

4. USA Marketplace for Industrial Gloves
USA industrial marketplace is estimated at $1,100,000,000. Largest in the world.
Does not include retail, (hba, home garden, hardware, etc) or medical.

5. Standards Compliance
The American National Standard Institute (ANSI) provides standards so manufacturers can classify their products for specified areas of glove performance.
They develop tests to evaluate many glove characteristics, including:
Cut resistance/puncture resistance/abrasion resistance
Chemical resistance
Flame resistance/heat resistance/cold resistance
Seam strength
The industry has put standards in place, both domestically and abroad, to insure that products are designed and manufactured to insure protection for the users.

6. Cuff Designs Knitwrist Designed to keep the glove firmly in place
Prevents debris from entering the glove
Enhances warmth
Should not be used where quick glove removal is required
Next, let me take a minute to explain the three different types of cuff designs:
Knit wrist
Safety cuff
Gauntlet

7. Cuff Designs Safety Cuff Allows the glove to slide on and off easily
Helps protect the wrist
Releases quickly from hand
Won’t soften when exposed to perspiration or washing

8. Cuff Designs Gauntlet Provides additional protection for lower forearm
Allows maximum forearm dexterity
Allows the glove to slide on and off easily
Protects wrist
Releases quickly from hand

9. Grip Designs Supported gloves Textured Finish Etched Wrinkle finish
As I mentioned in the introduction, Best offers are wide variety of patented grip designs to meet the many different requirements of many different applications.
Here are samples of grip designs for supported gloves.
Can we list some typical applications for each grip design?
Textured Finish
Etched Wrinkle finish
Particle Rough finish

10. Grip Designs Unsupported gloves Bisque finish Smooth finish
pattern finish
And here are examples of grip designs for our unsupported gloves.
Can we list some typical applications for each grip design?
NOTE: Some Best gloves have no special grip design, yet still provide good gripping power due to the intrinsic properties of the particular glove polymer.

64. History of Cut Resistant Gloves
Pre-1975 = leather and cotton
Mid-1970s = switch to knitted products
Dupont’s introduction of Kevlar
1980s = Automated knit glove machine replaces cut and sew products.
1980s & beyond = Many customers saw a 20-60% reduction in loss time injuries due to cuts, slashes and burns.
Mandates for hand and arm protection from many companies including Honda, Ford, Cuddy, Tyson and others.

65. Cut resistant marketplace
The cut resistant business using high performance fibers has grown dramatically over the past 10 to 15 years.
Cost due to lost time injuries from cuts
Marketing efforts that focus attention on the advantages of safety products.
Vast Improvement in product materials
Standardization of measurement
Better dexterity, protection, grip characteristics

66. Cut testing The industry requires standardized test procedures.
Procedures must realistically simulate the cutting hazard.
Test must be applicable to a wide range of materials.
Test must be reproducible from operator to operator, and laboratory to laboratory
One industry-accepted test exists:
Cut Protection Performance Test

67. CPP testing
Cut Protection Performance (CPP) test developed by American Society for Testing and Materials.
CPP test uses force displacement technique.
The test measures the force required for a razor blade to cut through a fabric with one inch of blade travel.
The instrument can apply forces from 25 grams to 15 kilograms

68. CPP test machine

69. CPP Test machine 1) Cycle counter/reset 2) Arm/Blade guard

12) speed/direction control

70. ANSI/ISEA Cut Resistance Levels
Developed the ASTM F1790 test (using the CPP Tester)
Provides manufacturers with a mechanism to classify their products.
Information from this testing and classification can be used to help users select appropriate hand protection.
End-users must select gloves based on a risk assessment involving the identification of hazards and determination of risk exposure to those hazards.

86. CUT RESISTANT GLOVE SIZING GUIDELINES
This guide is intended to give the user an approximate size of the Samurai™ glove to wear. The Samurai cut resistant gloves come in full sizes only. If, by following the guidelines below, you fall into a number that is less than an even size, we recommend that you try a glove that is one size smaller.
Please remember: gloves should fit snug, not tight. These are knit products and will stretch slightly to fit. The fingers should be completely to the end of the glove fingers for best performance.
Take a soft cloth tape measure and wrap around the hand that is to wear the glove, starting at the thumb crotch.
Where the tape crosses over itself you should have a number between 5 and 11.
Take the number and apply to the following sizing guidelines:
Measurement of 5 is a XX-small size glove. (Gray Overedge Color)
Measurement of a 6 is a X-small glove. (Gold Overedge Color)
Measurement of a 7 is a small glove. (Red Overedge Color)
Measurement of a 8 is a Medium size glove. (Green Overedge Color)
Measurement of a 9 is a Large size glove. (White Overedge Color)
Measurement of a 10 is a X-Large size glove. (Black Overedge Color)
Measurement of a 11 is a XX-Large size glove. (Brown Overedge Color)
Our most popular sizes are small and medium. Please remember that if you are not sure of the correct size after measurement, try the smaller of your choices first.

88. DoubleGuard™ DoubleGuard™ protection
WHY ADD AN ANTIMICROBIAL AGENT TO GLOVES?
The Samurai CR336, CR411 have the DoubleGuard silver based antimicrobial agent in each glove. We recommend always using the recommended washing procedure. DoubleGuard™ antimicrobial offers an additional level of protection that lasts the life of the glove. DoubleGuard™ antimicrobial agents can prevent, reduce & eliminate bacterial growth on the surfaces of the gloves.
DoubleGuard™ EFFECTIVENESS:
The antimicrobial effectiveness of DoubleGuard™ antimicrobial has been confirmed % effective against a variety of nosocomial airborne bacteria, waterborne bacteria, yeast, fungi, and molds
DoubleGuard™ ADVANTAGE:
A major advantage of DoubleGuard™ is its ability to withstand processing temperatures up to 800 degrees C while retaining full antimicrobial effectiveness – when organic antimicrobials can decompose or evaporate at a temperature of 250 to 300 degrees C.
DoubleGuard™ is designed to prevent growth of microorganisms and the formation of biofilms on surfaces into which it is incorporated. It is not intended to sterilize volumes of liquid or air, since the level of ion release required to do so would be excessive (in the case of air, it would be impossible). Generally, microorganisms grow preferentially on surfaces, which are the leading source of proliferation and contamination. Therefore treating the surfaces is the most efficient approach to controlling these microorganisms.
DoubleGuard™ Antimicrobial protection will last for the life of the glove. The gloves are machine and dishwasher safe, bleachable, and can be sanitized without reducing the antimicrobial properties of the gloves. DoubleGuard™ will continue working to reduce, eliminate or prevent the growth of bacteria on the surfaces of the glove, for the life of the glove

89. Choosing the Correct Glove
Evaluate existing physical conditions.
Consider features you need for your applications:
grip, length, dexterity, comfort, insulation, type of cuff
Select the glove that offers you the optimum combination of features and benefits, as well as resistance to both physical and chemical hazards.
Best makes it easy for you to get the information you need to choose the most effective hand protection for your situation.
We offer free hand and arm hazard assessments -- a detailed, written report with recommendations for a hand-and-product protection program designed to give you the most cost-effective combination of safety and productivity.
