Your hands allow you perform a variety of tasks that make you a skilled and valuable worker. Without the use of your hands, you WOULD NOT be able to be employed in our industry.
Just imagine the difficulty of life itself - you WOULD NOT even be able to dress yourself, open a door or even pick up a fork to eat. What would it be like?
Your hands are an incredibly complex and delicate part of your body that are very difficult or near impossible to repair. As important as your hands are to you, most people are careless in regard to hand safety. Faulty tools or broken equipment may be hazardous, but most often it is lack of attention or human error that is the cause of hand injuries.
The following are some useful guides to selecting appropriate PPE for your hands:
PPE must protect against the hazards of the particular job
Do not wear gloves around the danger zone of rotating tools or machines
The glove should fit snug to your hand
