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.
