PPE - Hand, Wrist, Fingers
Hand, finger, and wrist protection is crucial in workplaces where employees are exposed to various hazards such as cuts, abrasions, punctures, impact injuries, and repetitive strain. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for hands, fingers, and wrists includes gloves made from materials like leather, synthetic fibers, or specialized materials for protection against specific hazards such as chemicals or thermal risks. Depending on the task and risk level, gloves may also feature additional protection such as padding, impact resistance, or vibration reduction. Proper selection and fit of gloves are essential to ensure comfort, dexterity, and adequate protection without compromising safety. Employers must provide appropriate PPE, conduct risk assessments, and train employees on the proper use, care, and limitations of hand, finger, and wrist protection. By integrating hand protection into comprehensive safety protocols and promoting a culture of safety awareness, organizations can minimize the risk of hand-related injuries and create a safer workplace environment for their workforce.
