PROSAFE cut-resistant gloves workers won’t want to take off!

Handling sheet metal, carrying products that have sharp edges, working with tools and machinery – cut-resistant hand protection is essential for workers across a range of industries.

Yet it’s all too easy for workers to pull off a bulky glove when they need to check something on their phone or tablet, or tighten a small bolt. And the moment they do, they leave themselves open to the risk of cuts and lacerations.

The challenge for employers is to source gloves that are fit-for-purpose, but comfortable enough to wear all shift long.

Levelling up safety and comfort.

PROSAFE Durashield Cut D Gloves are ideal for jobs where mid-level cut resistance and a high level of dexterity and comfort are required.

• Cut resistance: High-density polyethylene is the basis of the cut-resistant material. The gloves meet EN 388:2016+A1:2018, ISO 21420 and AS 4399:2020 UPF 50+, ensuring reliable, mid-level protection against mechanical risks.
• Comfort and dexterity: Polyester and elastane wrapped around the polyethylene give the gloves stretch for all-day comfort. The 18-gauge ultra-lightweight liner offers a snug, form-fitting design that helps enhance dexterity.
• Grip: A micro foam nitrile coating offers grip in wet, oily or dry conditions, reducing the force needed to hold objects and improving control. The porous coating promotes airflow, keeping hands cooler and reducing sweat build-up during extended use.
• Touchscreen compatibility: The gloves are close-fitting, rather than bulky, and touchscreen compatible, which means there’s no need for workers to take them off to use a phone or tablet.

Constructed with 23% post-consumer recycled polyester, the gloves also reflect Prosafe’s commitment to responsible sourcing and efficient use of materials.

Effective protection at an affordable price point.

PROSAFE National Category Manager Shane Wood says the PROSAFE Durashield Cut D Glove can be used across industries, from mining, construction and forestry to manufacturing and metal fabrication. The gloves provide effective protection, without compromising on comfort and dexterity, with the gloves offering a high level of feeling for the hand – vital for workers performing fine manual tasks or who need to use devices in the workflow.

“Fit, form and function are the three things we look for. The fit is making sure it’s comfortable to wear for long periods. Form is a high level of dexterity. Function it provides the performance to protect workers from cuts and lacerations,” he says. “A cut resistant glove is only valuable when you’ve got it on. If you’re doing something and the glove is too bulky and you take the glove off, there’s the risk of being cut or having an injury. Having a glove with a high level of dexterity is a big thing for employees.”

Why it matters?

Shane says that because PROSAFE is a Blackwoods brand, it’s also possible to pass on supply chain cost savings from dealing directly with the manufacturer to customers.

“Prosafe offers a good balance of performance and price.”
