In the UK, cut level B for safety gloves refers to a specific level of protection against cuts from sharp objects, following the EN 388:2016 standard. Here's a breakdown:

• Protection level: Cut level B offers moderate protection against cuts from straight blades.
• Applications: These gloves are ideal for situations with a low to moderate risk of cuts, such as:
  • Handling sheet metal
  • Assembly tasks
  • Packing sharp objects
  • Glass handling (limited risk)
• Cut resistance: Cut level B gloves can withstand a force of up to 5 newtons on a standardized test using a straight blade.

Here are some additional points to consider:

• For higher cut risk environments: If you face a high risk of cuts, consider gloves with a higher level (C, D, or E) offering greater protection.
• Other factors: Cut resistance is just one aspect. Look for gloves that also provide appropriate dexterity, grip, and other relevant features for your task.
• Consult a safety professional: For specific recommendations based on your workplace hazards, consult a safety professional.

Remember, cut level B provides moderate protection, so it's important to assess your risk level for choosing the most appropriate gloves.
