EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 11393-4 testing. This standard specifies performance requirements, test methods, design requirements, identification and marking information for gloves protecting against cuts by hand-held chainsaws.
The method for measuring the protective coating, the apparatus and test method for evaluating the resistance to cut, and the ergonomic evaluation are specified.
This part of ISO 11393 forms part of a series on personal protective equipment designed to reduce the risks associated with the use of hand-held chainsaws.
In some work areas with chainsaws, a third of injuries occur to the hands. However, few hand injuries occur with different work practices. Accidents happen for a number of complex reasons, but a common factor is improper use of the chainsaw. The importance of correct training and correct use of the chainsaw in preventing accidents cannot be underestimated.
It has been shown that all parts of the hand (palm, back and fingers) are at risk when using a chainsaw. It is generally recognized that protecting the palm and the underside of the fingers is impractical for ergonomic and health and safety reasons.
It is not possible to adequately protect the back of the fingers without the use of gloves. This part of ISO 11393 gives specifications for the protective coverage and performance of the back of the left glove, although the same specifications may apply to the right glove.
