Hand Safety
Generated on: May 15, 2025

To ensure hand safety, employers must evaluate potential hazards and provide appropriate hand protection 3, 13. This includes selecting gloves based on the task, conditions, duration of use, and identified hazards [1]. Workers should use the provided hand protection to prevent injuries such as those arising from contact with chemicals, extreme temperatures, prolonged water exposure, punctures, abrasions, or skin irritation [2]. Gloves should not be worn when hands are exposed to moving parts where they could get caught [1]. For work with mechanical power presses, point of operation devices should protect operators' hands [3]. If gloves are used with pull-out or restraint devices, they must be worn outside the hand attachments [3]. Special protective gloves are required when handling sharp-edged doctor blades [4].


Important Safety Note:

Always verify safety information with your organization's specific guidelines and local regulations.
