Toolbox talk

Hand protection

Hands get cut, crushed and burned more than any other body part.

Key points

  • Choose the right glove for the job.
  • Keep hands out of pinch points.
  • Don't wear gloves near rotating parts that can grab.
  • Replace worn gloves.
  • Use tools instead of hands when you can.

Ask the crew

  • What gloves do we need today?
  • Where are the pinch points?

General safety awareness. Follow your company's procedures, the site plan and the manufacturer's instructions.
