These injuries often occur from careless use of machinery, tools, or handling products bare handed. Hands and fingers can get caught, pinched, or crushed between stone, chains, wheels, rollers, or gears. Hands can puncture or get cut by spiked or jagged tools and edges that shear or chop. Be sure to wear protective gloves while handling products and tools. Steel banding and wire is also a common cause of lacerations for associates. If you are handling steel banding, always wear Kevlar type cut-resistant gloves to protect your hands. In addition to wearing the appropriate gloves, safety precautions should include using shields, guards, or safety locks; handling knives or tools with care; and keeping hands, jewelry, and clothing away from moving parts. Chemical Exposure Injuries These injuries result from contact with solvents, acids, cleaning solutions, flammable liquids and other substances that can cause burns or injure tissue.
