Understanding OSHA Hand Protection: Safeguarding Your Workforce
Welcome to our comprehensive OSHA Hand Protection training program. Our focus is on the vital role of hand protection in the workplace, where hands are the primary tools for performing daily tasks. Ensuring the safety of your employees’ hands is not just a regulatory requirement; it’s a fundamental aspect of workplace safety.
OSHA’s Emphasis on Hand Protection: OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, places a strong emphasis on hand protection due to the numerous hazards that can impact workers’ hands in various industries. The guidelines for hand protection are outlined in Standard 29 CFR 1910.138(a), which mandates the selection and use of appropriate hand protection when employees are exposed to hazards.
Compliance with OSHA Standards:
Standard 29 CFR 1910.138(a) specifically addresses the need for hand protection in the workplace. The standard’s language is clear and unequivocal: employers are required to choose and mandate the use of suitable hand protection whenever employees’ hands are at risk from potential hazards.
Identifying Hand Protection Hazards: Hazards that necessitate hand protection include the risk of skin absorption of harmful substances, severe cuts or lacerations, abrasions, punctures, chemical burns, thermal burns, and exposure to harmful temperature extremes. Our training equips employees and employers alike with the knowledge to identify these hazards and take appropriate preventive measures.
Adhering to 1926 Hand Protection Standards:
For industries within the construction sector, OSHA’s standards extend to hand protection as well. Under OSHA’s Standard 29 CFR 1926, employers must ensure that their workers are equipped with suitable hand protection to mitigate risks related to construction activities.
