An average of over 100,000 hand injuries occur each year in private industry, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. To help combat this, J. J. Keller & Associates Inc. is introducing new cut-resistant gloves and offering a free cut glove resource to help employers prevent injuries.

Safety gloves protect workers’ hands from cuts, impacts, chemicals, and temperature extremes, helping to prevent injuries. That’s why J. J. Keller continues to expand its proprietary SAFEGEAR glove selection, including its new manufacturer-patented Bladestop cut-resistant gloves. These gloves offer a protective material that combines a graphene technology-based engineered fiber with other common fibers like HPPE and recycled polyester. The company is also adding new leather driving gloves and string knit gloves to its SAFEGEAR line.
“Hand protection solutions continue to expand and evolve, with more options now than ever before,” says Ray Chishti, J. J. Keller subject-matter expert. “It’s important to choose the right glove for the task, taking into consideration all the potential hazards involved. Proper fit is also critical, as oversized gloves can hinder dexterity.”
The company is also offering a free resource, “Debunking Myths About Cut-Resistant Gloves: What Employers Need to Know,” which offers practical advice on selecting and using cut-resistant gloves.
