It has been estimated that almost 20% of all disabling accidents on the job involve the hands and many infections are spread by the hands.
Without the use of your fingers or hands, your ability to work would be greatly reduced.
Human hands are unique. No other creature in the world has hands that can grasp, hold, move, and manipulate objects like human hands.
They are one of your greatest assets. And, as such, must be protected and cared for against all types of potential injuries such as:
- Tools and machines with sharp edges that can cut your hands.
- Staples, screwdrivers, nails, chisels, and stiff wire can puncture your hands.
- Getting your hands caught in machinery can sprain, crush your hands and fingers.
- Coming into contact with caustic or toxic chemicals, biological substances, electrical sources, or extremely cold or hot objects can irritate or burn your hands.( Toxic substances are poisonous substances that can be absorbed through your skin and enter your body.)
- potential infectious germs, bacteria and virus
POINT OF INTEREST
Medical gloves were originally created by Goodyear Rubber. In 1890 at the request of Dr. William Halstead for his OR charge nurse who had severe dermatitis from the disinfectants hospitals used. These first gloves were thick robber gloves with cuffs that were boiled between uses. Medical gloves now play a key role for infection control and caregiver protection.
