In the context of cutting risk (metal sheets, blades or sharp objects and sheets of glass), the main factors of analysis are:
- Weight of sharp objects: weight increases cutting force.
- Surface texture: oily or wet surfaces require high grip gloves.
- Finishing of the edges of sharp objects (sharp or jagged): onger edges require gloves with greater resistance to tearing and sleeves to protect the forearm.
- Puncture risk: the risk of puncture is decisive in evaluating the risk of cutting as it may lacerate the glove.
