Introduction

• We use our hands so constantly that we often take them for granted. Because hands and fingers are taken for granted, they are the most injured parts of the body. Most of these injuries can be prevented by paying attention to your hands and keeping them out of harm’s way, as well as using the proper PPE.

Injury Types

• Most hand and finger injuries will either be traumatic or contact injuries. Let’s take a closer look at each:

• Traumatic Injuries- These range from cuts to punctures to broken bones to the worst case, amputations. Although cuts or punctures can be minor, if they penetrate the skin they can sever nerves, tendons ect.

• Contact Injuries- Contact injuries are usually skin diseases or burns that result from direct contact with hot or cold objects, or with chemicals, detergents or metals.

• Gloves are one of the best ways to protect your hands against hazards. However, be certain to use the proper gloves for the hazard that you are exposed to.

Types of Hand Protection

• Insulated gloves- Insulated gloves are designed to protect you against heat and cold. If you work around open flames the fabric should be fire retardant and reflective of radiant heat. Leather is a good choice for working around hot surfaces.

• Insulated rubber gloves- Insulated rubber gloves are required around electricity.

Remember:

• Wash hands frequently with soap and water.

• Don’t use solvents or industrial detergents to clean hands.
