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

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.
