Hand Protection

Hand Protection OSHA says that the employer shall ensure that each affected employee uses appropriate hand protection and other protective clothing where there is exposure to hazards such as skin absorption of harmful substances. California law says hand protection shall be required for employees whose work involves unusual and excessive exposure of hands to cuts, burns, harmful physical or chemical agents. OSHA regulates hand protection under its PPE regulations at 29 CFR 1910.132 and 138. There are many different kinds of hand and finger injuries, but most are traumatic injuries, contact injuries, or carpal tunnel syndrome. Choose hand protection based on performance characteristics, material, practicality and a good fit.
