WE DEEMED IT NECESSARY TO
DEVELOP A UNIQUE APPROACH
TO HELP DETERMINE THE RISK
AND POSSIBLE SEVERITY OF
AN INJURY.
CALCULATING THE CRH: FACTOR™
1. Assess the EDGE SHARPNESS with
“Rough” equating to the edge of a
brick and “Razor” to that of a
sharp knife.
2. FORCE is relative to the different
tasks being performed. Tasks such
as deboning large animals require
a high degree of force compared
to working with box cutters in a
repacking operation.
3. Mapping the two will place you
in one of the four quadrants of
RISK where you can determine
your CRH: Factor™ and proceed to
selecting the optimal coating for
maximum grip.

The Cut Risk Hazard Matrix ™ is a unique
and logical method to guide users in
selecting a glove or sleeve with the right
cut resistant material and score. Once a
safety manager can identify where their
application fits on the Cut Risk Hazard
Matrix ™, they can more confidently
correlate the task to the glove or sleeve
best suited for their job.
- Medium Gauge to New Ultra strength finer liners (this is the
additional benefit of X7 technologies) to absorb pressing edge and
allow yarn to roll
- Spun or high strength filament yarns
SION
- Low to medium gauge, thicker liner means more fabric loft to
absorb and resist abrasion
- Spun yarns loftier to mitigate abrasion effects to skin

By plotting the tasks and applications, we determine a Cut Risk Hazard Factor ™ (CRH: Factor ™) as outlined on the right side.
The CRH: Factor™ is a comparative indicator that helps safety managers determine the level of potential hazard related to the task or

application.
