Hand Protection

The hand is one of the most complex tools and one
accident in three involves it. The hand has such unique
attributes and is an essential part of the human body; it
must be adequately protected when exposed to hazards
which can seriously damage it.
To protect your hand, you will need to assess:
• Hazard - Potential to do harm
• Risk - Likelihood that your hands may be harmed
• Consequence – Severity or degree of injury sustained
