PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF PROTECTIVE GLOVES IN PREVENTING HAND LACERATIONS

Nicoleta CRĂCIUN, Alina TRIFU

Abstract


In numerous industries, handling objects with sharp edges is a frequent task associated with significant risks of cuts and other injuries. Although they may appear minor, such incidents can have serious consequences, ranging from superficial wounds to deep lacerations or even amputations, ultimately affecting work capacity and quality of life. To prevent these accidents, the use of appropriate protective gloves is essential. This study examines the materials used in the manufacturing of cut-resistant gloves, emphasizing the importance of performance levels in evaluating their effectiveness
