Date: Wednesday, November, 18, 2026 at 2:00pm ET - 1:00pm CT - 11:00am PT

Hand injuries remain one of the most common workplace safety risks, prompting many organizations to increase cut protection levels across a wide range of tasks. But is choosing the highest cut-resistant glove always the safest option? As hand protection technology continues to evolve, safety professionals are challenged to balance protection, comfort, dexterity, and productivity to ensure workers consistently wear the PPE provided.

This webinar will explore the evolution of cut-resistant hand protection, clarify key differences between ANSI/ISEA and EN cut protection standards, and discuss how to match glove performance to actual workplace hazards. Attendees will learn why worker comfort is a critical driver of PPE compliance and how advances in glove technology are helping organizations improve protection while enhancing worker acceptance. The session will provide practical guidance for optimizing hand protection programs and supporting better safety outcomes across the workforce
