The frequency of replacing cut-resistant gloves depends on several factors, including the task, conditions, duration of use, and potential hazards [1]. OSHA requires that employers select appropriate hand protection based on an evaluation of these performance characteristics [1].

Here's a breakdown of key considerations:

• Regular Inspection: Inspect gloves before each day's use and after any incident that could have caused damage [2].
• Damage: Defective or damaged PPE should not be used [3]. Repair or replace protective clothing and equipment as needed to maintain their effectiveness [4].
• Useful Life: Employers must train employees on the useful life of PPE [5].

To ensure you are following best practices in Arkansas, conduct a workplace hazard assessment to determine the specific risks and select gloves accordingly [3]. Also, train employees on proper PPE use, care, and disposal [5].
