When to use Puncture resistant cut glove or a true needle resistant glove?

The difference between a cut and a puncture may not be obvious. A cut may start with the tip of a pointed object and continue as a cut. However, when exposed to puncture risks such as wood splinters or sharp metal or glass shards, you should get some puncture protection. The puncture may also be crude and blunt or very fine with a sharp cutting edge, like a hypodermic needle.

The puncture test in the EN388 standard is made with a 1mm flat tip probe, which is very coarse compared to real-life puncture hazards. At Eureka, we test puncture resistance from coarse probes to thin and sharp needles. The key takeaway is that when the puncture threat is finer than about 0.5mm in diameter, you need to switch from a “Puncture 3 or 4 rated” cut-resistant glove to a real needle-resistant glove like the Eureka 15-4 Puncture Soft.

Hand safety in slaughterhouses can be divided into two categories: pre-cold storage and post-cold storage. Eureka has the solution for both stages of processing.

For processing warm/room temperature carcasses pre-cold storage we recommend our 18-4 Cool Insider. (EN388 Cut level E / ANSI A5). A thin and cool-feel glove for a safe and steady grip on the knife hand. Skin friendly due to its fiberglass and steel-free construction and lasts up to 20 washing cycles!

For frozen/cooled carcasses post-cold storage processing we recommend our long lasting and comfortable 10-5 Food (EN388 Cut level F / ANSI A6) with a reverse knit construction and cotton lining for insulation from the cold.

Recently, Eureka has donated 17,000 pairs of gloves to Ukraine in an effort to support local rescue and aid services.

We have sent Arc Flash gloves for power grid repairs, cut protection gloves for rescue services and winter gloves.

Wishing everyone a safe Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the Eureka team.

Seasons greetings! We at Eureka wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. A huge thank you to everyone and we look forward to new opportunities in 2023! Delivery handling will be limited on orders placed between the 21st of December and 9th of January.

Y. Berger & Co. AB has registered our UK company, “Eureka Safety UK” and are now ready to deliver “Delivered Duty Paid” anywhere in the United Kingdom!

The new set up allows for either direct orders from our Sweden stock, but imported into UK, or to take on production orders direct from the factory but still imported into the UK.

October is here and for those of us in the northern hemisphere, the temperature has started to drop, and the suns path falls quicker to the horizon. Winter is just around the corner!
Keep your hands warm and protected from mechanical risks with Eureka’s range of cold environment gloves.

Our 15-3 Winter Cut offers cut level D/ANSI A4 cut protection in a highly dexterous form-fitting glove. Cold and wet? Our super comfortable winter PU Grip offers great grip in a waterproof glove for moderate winter climates.
Colder still? Our 1310-2 Double Shell Nitrile offers fantastic insulation and grip in a bright orange colour and reflective print for visibility in the longer winter darkness. For the coldest working environments our MF Nordic Winter will keep your hands warm with the glove to mitten conversion.

Using power tools outdoors? Cold temperatures and vibration are not a good match. Cold hands while using vibrating tools can increase the risk of permanent vibration damage. Keep your hands warm and protected using our winter versions of Impact Vibration and Vibration Flexi.

Vibration reduction to reduce the risk of HAVS (Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome) is a complicated topic. There are many aspects to consider when choosing the correct glove for you tool. At Eureka we like to use the visualisation that tool vibrations are akin to the ocean – large swells, waves, and ripples all representing the dimensions and complexity. The most impacting factors being tool vibration simplified as RPM (revolutions per minute), rotational or impacting vibrations, working material, environmental temperature, and environmental stress factors such as ambient noise level.

Accounting for these factors determines the level of accuracy when choosing the correct glove. The higher the potential vibration exposure, the higher the level of accuracy is recommended.

At Eureka we have categorised the selection accuracy into 3 levels:

Accuracy Level 1 (Lowest):

15,000- 20,000 RPM. Does your tool rotate faster or slower than this range? Impact Vibration range for faster and high energy impacting tools, Flexi range for slower.

Accuracy Level 2 (Medium):

Using the Eureka Tool-Type dot chart along with the Eureka Vibration Tool Acceleration Overview (available on customer page only) for determining the appropriate glove.

Accuracy Level 3 (Highest):

On-site measurements and in-depth analysis. At this level, our experts will visit your premises and measure the exact “in-action” vibration exposure to record the most accurate data. This data is then relayed back to our HQ where it is analysed and a full report per tool with glove recommendations is generated.

For odd jobs and occasional vibrating tool exposure, accuracy level 1 or 2 to select a glove model may suffice. For repeated work, industrial use, exposure over long periods, accuracy level 3 is strongly recommended. If in doubt, please contact us at Eureka and we can assist you in selecting the appropriate protection.
