Abstract: In order to ensure adequate protection, the clothing used by workers in the work process must be designed and made of materials known to have a certain "resistance" both to the risks for which they are intended and to the factors present in the work environment. Currently, the protective characteristics of clothing used against clearly defined hazards, such as chemicals, fire, molten metal droplets, etc. are addressed in various technical specifications (standards). Also, the standards specific to protective clothing include some mechanical characteristics, such as puncture and tear resistance, without taking into consideration the cut strength of materials, although in some situations, the danger of workers coming in contact with various cutting surfaces is inevitable. Given that in certain fields (agriculture, chemical industry, food industry, etc.) the risk of cutting is ubiquitous, and the characteristics of the materials used to make clothing are defining to ensure adequate protection, the study aims to follow the cutting behavior of materials with specific uses.
Key words: manufacturing, clothing, specifications.
