The 922CR extends the 922-series impact platform with the \"CR\" cut-resistant addition — where the standard 922 series provides impact protection without cut certification, the 922CR adds the ANSI\/ISEA 105 Level A3 cut-resistant shell that addresses the cut hazard component of operations where both sharp materials and dorsal impact occur in the same work environment. This combination addresses a common dual-hazard specification need in construction and heavy material handling: workers who handle steel framing, rebar, sharp-profile fasteners, and structural elements face both the cut hazard from the material's sharp edges and the dorsal impact hazard from pinch-point contact, tool operation, and structural element handling that characterizes the same operations. The TPR (thermoplastic rubber) dorsal armor provides the impact energy absorption required for ANSI\/ISEA 138 Level 1 certification — the TPR backing distributes impact force across the armored zone, reducing the peak force at the dorsal hand contact zone from the impact events of construction and material handling operations. Nitrile palm coating provides the oil and chemical resistance and surface grip appropriate for construction environments — resistant to the lubricants, paints, and surface coatings present on construction materials, with grip characteristics suitable for structural steel, rebar, fasteners, and the range of construction material contact. Level A3 cut resistance from the engineered shell construction provides the mid-range cut documentation appropriate for the structural construction and material handling materials that generate A3-range cut force — above the A2 baseline for general work, below the A4 level for precision metal fabrication and higher-cut-force industrial materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eErgodyne 922CR ProFlex A3 Cut-Resistant Impact Gloves — Key Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eANSI\/ISEA 105-2016 Level A3 cut resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e — mid-range cut protection for structural materials and sharp construction components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eANSI\/ISEA 138-2019 Level 1 dorsal impact protection\u003c\/strong\u003e — TPR armor for dorsal hand impact in construction and material handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual-certified A3 cut + Level 1 impact\u003c\/strong\u003e — single glove specification for simultaneous cut and impact hazard environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNitrile palm coating\u003c\/strong\u003e — oil-resistant grip for construction surface conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction and material handling grade\u003c\/strong\u003e — for structural work with simultaneous cut and impact exposure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAttribute\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel \/ SKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e922CR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eErgodyne ProFlex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCut Resistance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eANSI\/ISEA 105-2016 Level A3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImpact Protection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eANSI\/ISEA 138-2019 Level 1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImpact Armor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTPR (thermoplastic rubber) dorsal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePalm Coating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNitrile\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA3 Cut + Level 1 Impact: Dual Hazard in Construction Material Handling\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstruction and heavy material handling create a specific pattern of simultaneous hand hazards that the 922CR is designed to address. A3 cut hazards arise from the sharp edges of structural materials — steel framing with slit or punched edges, rebar with cut and formed ends, metal stud framing with shear-cut profiles, hardware with stamped features, and structural elements with weld spatter and machined surface features that generate A3-range cut force. Impact hazards arise from the same work operations — setting steel framing components into connections where the hand contacts structural surfaces, driving fasteners with impact tools where rebound and missed strikes create dorsal contact, tying rebar where the wire hook tool recoil can strike the dorsal hand, and manipulating heavy metal components where contact with edges and surfaces generates dorsal impact force. Workers who face both hazards simultaneously need a glove that addresses both from a single specification — selecting a separate A3 cut glove and a separate impact glove would require switching between gloves for different tasks or wearing both simultaneously, which is impractical. The 922CR's combined certification eliminates this split-specification problem: one glove provides documented A3 cut protection from the sharp structural materials and Level 1 impact protection from the dorsal contact events of the same operations. Nitrile palm provides appropriate grip for the surface conditions of structural construction — oil-resistant nitrile resists the lubricants and coatings on fasteners and steel surfaces while providing adequate friction for the tool and component handling typical of framing, connection, and erection work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompliance and Certifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eANSI\/ISEA 105-2016\u003c\/strong\u003e — Cut resistance Level A3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eANSI\/ISEA 138-2019\u003c\/strong\u003e — Dorsal impact protection Level 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOSHA 29 CFR 1910.138\u003c\/strong\u003e — Hand protection requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eReal-World Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDual A3 cut and Level 1 impact certification in a single glove addresses the simultaneous hazard documentation requirement of construction and material handling operations without requiring separate gloves for each hazard.\u003c\/strong\u003e Ironworkers, framers, and structural construction workers with documented A3 cut materials and dorsal impact exposure maintain both certifications from a single specification — simplifying the PPE program and eliminating the compliance gap of single-hazard gloves in dual-hazard environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTPR dorsal armor absorbs and distributes dorsal impact force from tool operation, pinch-point contact, and structural element manipulation that regularly occur in framing, rebar, and connection work.\u003c\/strong\u003e Construction workers who experience dorsal hand strikes from impact tool recoil, rebar wire hooks, and structural contact during fastening and connection operations receive the energy-absorbing protection of documented Level 1 impact armor at the specific dorsal contact zones where these impacts occur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eApplications and Use Cases\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel framing and structural erection — A3 cut materials with dorsal impact\u003c\/strong\u003e — 922CR for ironworkers, structural steel workers, and metal framers handling steel sections and connections with A3-level cut exposure from sharp structural edges and dorsal impact from connection and fastening operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRebar and concrete reinforcement work — wire and rebar with hook tool impact\u003c\/strong\u003e — dual-certified gloves for rebar tiers and concrete workers handling sharp-profile rebar and tying wire with hook tools that can generate dorsal contact forces during the tie-off operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral construction material handling — A3 cut hardware and structural components\u003c\/strong\u003e — A3 + Level 1 impact gloves for construction workers handling fasteners, sheet metal, and hardware with A3 cut exposure in environments where tool operation and component manipulation create dorsal impact hazard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRelated Products\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor A7 cut + impact dorsal protection (heavy metalworking), see \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ergodyne-proflex-7070-a7-cut-impact-nitrile-work-gloves\"\u003eErgodyne ProFlex 7070 A7 Cut + Impact Nitrile Work Gloves\u003c\/a\u003e.

It defines three performance levels based on the peak force transmitted through the glove during standardized dorsal impact testing. Level 1 requires that the glove reduce transmitted impact force to below a specified threshold under the standard's test conditions — providing documented protection against the moderate dorsal impact forces typical of construction and material handling operations. Level 1 is appropriate for environments with tool rebound, component contact, and structural handling impact events; Levels 2 and 3 address higher-force impact exposures from heavier equipment contact, machine press proximity, and extreme-force dorsal impact environments. Verify your specific impact hazard level from your hazard assessment to confirm Level 1 is appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the 922CR differ from the standard 922-series impact gloves?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard 922-series gloves provide ANSI\/ISEA 138 dorsal impact protection without a cut-resistant shell specification — appropriate for environments where impact is the primary hand hazard without significant cut hazard from sharp-edge materials. The 922CR adds an engineered cut-resistant shell that meets ANSI\/ISEA 105-2016 Level A3 in addition to the impact protection — appropriate when the same environment generates both cut and impact hazards simultaneously. If your hazard assessment documents only impact hazard without significant cut exposure from sharp-edge materials, the standard 922 may be the appropriate specification. If cut and impact are both documented, the 922CR provides the dual certification without requiring separate gloves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the nitrile palm coating sufficient for wet construction environments?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNitrile coating provides basic water and oil resistance — it maintains better grip than uncoated knit under light wet conditions and resists the oils and lubricants on construction fasteners and steel surfaces. For consistently wet outdoor conditions — rain, wet concrete, morning dew — the foam nitrile coating of the 7041 provides better wet-surface grip compliance through the foam structure's moist-condition conformability. The 922CR's standard nitrile is appropriate for the dry-to-moderate surface conditions of typical indoor and dry-outdoor construction; for sustained wet-condition work, consider whether the grip characteristics of nitrile are adequate for your specific wet-surface handling requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the 922CR be used for both construction framing and machine shop operations?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 922CR is primarily designed for construction and material handling environments. For machine shop and metalworking operations, evaluate whether the A3 cut level is sufficient for your specific materials (machine shop materials may require A4-A7 depending on material cut forces) and whether Level 1 impact addresses the dorsal impact forces of your specific operations (heavy press operations may require Level 2 or 3 impact protection). The A7 cut + impact gloves (7070) are designed specifically for metalworking press and die operations with higher cut and impact force requirements. Use your formal hazard assessment to match the cut and impact certification levels to your actual measured hazard profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the proper care and maintenance for the 922CR?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspect the TPR dorsal armor before each use for cracking, separation from the shell, or deformation that could compromise impact protection. Inspect the knit shell for cuts, abrasion wear, and holes that could compromise cut protection. Clean per manufacturer instructions — most nitrile-coated cut-resistant gloves can be hand washed with mild detergent and air dried; verify the specific washing instructions in Ergodyne's current product documentation. Replace when armor integrity, shell integrity, or coating condition is degraded — do not continue using gloves with compromised armor or shell after confirmed impact or cut events that may have affected the protection materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Ergodyne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44048951050328,"sku":"922CR","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/1900\/0920\/files\/17092-922cr-cut-resistant-nitrile-dipped-dir-gloves-paired_1.jpg?v=1777434059","url":"https:\/\/wcsafety.com\/products\/ergodyne-proflex-922cr-a3-cut-resistant-impact-gloves","provider":"WC Safety","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
