Hi Dave,
when reviewing what gloves you need there is four digit code on "anti-cut" protection gloves. Examples on the glove are 4343 or 4542.
The first two figures indicate abrasive & cut resistant, the last figures indicate longevity qualities.
My advice is order a few different pairs and trial them for a period and collate the results after 1 or 2 weeks.
Best of luck.

Hi Dave
Would the BS EN 420:2003: General requirements for gloves, be of any use as a guidance to assist you.

Speak with your supplier they can give you advise on the best type of glove for the hazards (they usually send some freebies)ask them about awareness/training materials.I have previously had the PPE company come out and do a toolbox talk on PPE free,but this service is dependant on quantities.

The free poster(s) on how to take off gloves can be downloaded from the HSE website. However, these are concerned with protection against chemical hazards whereas from your posting I deduce that you are mainly concerned with physical damage.
Most of the major suppliers of gloves will provide information and guidance and some have useful booklets or include information in their catalogue.
If you are considering chemical protection this is far more complex than most people imagine. As a basic rule you need to treat any published data about performance with caution. It is based on laboratory tests and, from the results of a study I conducted with a UK university some time ago, does not reflect what you will obtain in practice.
