By Risk Category

PPE Categories Mapped to the Work Being Done

Mechanix Wear programs center on Hand & Arm Protection while keeping adjacent PPE risks visible. The grid mirrors the full PPE risk map so a buyer can document glove requirements without losing sight of eyewear, respiratory, fall, LOTO or first-response dependencies.

Safety helmet program

Head Protection

Head protection context captured when glove selection is part of a broader site PPE refresh.

Add head protection context
Safety eyewear program

Eye & Face Protection

Safety glasses and shields noted where hand tasks also create flying particle or splash exposure.

Map eye and face risk
Cut resistant glove program

Hand & Arm Protection

Cut, puncture, abrasion, impact and grip requirements mapped to ANSI/ISEA 105 and EN 388 expectations.

Work gloves and cut gloves

Hearing Protection

Noise exposure checkpoint for programs that also need NRR and EN 352 SNR references.

Ask about scope

Respiratory Protection

Respirator reviews require product-specific approval numbers where applicable and are handled as a separate request.

Clarify requirement

Foot Protection

Footwear risk notes can be coordinated with ASTM F2413 and EN ISO 20345 purchasing programs.

Compare categories

Fall Protection

Harness, anchorage and inspection requirements are flagged when elevated work is part of the hazard profile.

Review fall hazards

Hi-Vis & FR Workwear

Visibility, arc flash and flame resistance context can be captured before glove and helmet selection.

Map apparel needs

Gas Detection

Confined-space or process exposure notes help determine when PPE selection needs gas monitoring input.

Add monitoring notes

Lockout / Tagout

Electrical maintenance reviews can reference OSHA 1910.147 and NFPA 70E without claiming product approval.

Request LOTO context

First Aid

Response kit requirements are documented separately for sites needing ANSI Z308.1 cabinet alignment.

Add response scope

Traffic & Facility Safety

Traffic control and facility marking needs can be captured with MUTCD or ANSI Z535 references.

Include facility risk
Program Milestones

A Glove Program Moves Through Evidence, Trial and Control

Intake

Hazard and task language

Document sharp edge, vibration, oil, heat, abrasion, disposable use or tactical handling before a Mechanix Wear style is shortlisted.

Standards

ANSI / EN comparison

Translate ANSI/ISEA 105 cut levels, EN 388 markings and relevant workplace references into buyer-readable notes.

Trial

Fit and dexterity scoring

Compare grip, fingertip control, cuff style, touchscreen use, sweat buildup and replacement drivers by job role.

Control

Distributor-ready catalog rules

Keep approved glove families, alternates and reorder notes clear enough for branch teams and punchout catalogs.

Specifier Feedback
"The useful part was not a larger glove list. It was the way cut level, grip surface, task duration and replacement notes were written in the same language our safety team and distributor could use."
