Prevent Workplace Hand Injuries with the Right Safety Gloves
Injuries to hands, fingers and wrists can profoundly affect your life and recovery can often take a long time. With the correct hand protection, you can minimise many potential injury risks in the workplace.
Always wear safety and work gloves that properly fit your hands and are built to the tackle the dangers of your working environment.
VIBRATION INJURIES
Working with vibrating machines and tools can cause long term vibration damage to hands and wrists. The damage generally occurs gradually and can become incurable. Those who work with high-vibration tools often also experience problems with neck and shoulder pain that radiates down into the arm and hand. Pain in the shoulders and elbows is also common.
Anti-vibration gloves are an effective way to counter the risks when working with vibrating machines and tools – prevention is better than cure.
HYPERSENSITIVITY & ALLERGY
A hypersensitivity reaction is an inappropriate or exaggerated immune response to an antigen or an allergen that most other can tolerate.
Allergy is an acquired hypersensitivity to a substance. Some occupational groups are more exposed to substances that can cause hypersensitivity and allergies.
With the right protective gloves, hypersensitivity or allergic reactions through direct skin contact can be prevented or alleviated.
COLD DAMAGE
When temperatures drop below 10° C, the risk of cold-induced injuries rises quickly. Windchill and humidity increase the risk, putting hands in serious risk, while direct contact with cold surfaces drains warmth quickly and reduces dexterity, grip, and control.
Outdoor work in harsh winter conditions faces constant exposure, but indoor environments like freezers or cold storage in the food industry can be just as demanding.
Explore our range of cold protection gloves designed to keep hands warm, responsive and safe.
COMPRESSION INJURIES
Compression and crush injuries are a constant risk in environments with heavy machinery and moving parts. Hands can be caught in moving machinery or struck by heavy equipment in an instant.
Choosing the right glove is essential to prevent injuries. Correct sizing along with materials designed to balance durability with the ability to release or tear under extreme conditions increases protection and reduces the risk of injuries.
CUTTING INJURIES
When handling parts or tools with sharp edges, it is easy to suffer cuts. Unprotected edges on cutting machine and hand tools also pose a great risk, therefore adequate cut protection suited to the risks of your workplace are paramount to safety and productivity.
