Hand Protection for Lumber
Introduction:
In the forestry sawmill industry, workers are frequently exposed to the risk of hand injuries, and protective hand gloves have become an essential piece of work equipment. Not only do these gloves provide critical protection, but they also ensure that practitioners maintain dexterity and comfort on the job. In this article, we’ll take an in-depth look at the potential hand hazards in the forestry sawmill industry and recommend some excellent hand protection gloves to provide practitioners with all-around protection.
Potential Hazards:
Sharp Saw Teeth: One of the main dangers foresters often face is saw teeth. Frequent cutting and handling of wood makes the hands vulnerable to cuts and lacerations.
Wood chips and foreign matter: Wood chips, foreign matter and possibly chemicals from sawing operations can cause skin irritation, inflammation or allergic reactions.
Open-air environments: Forestry work is often carried out outdoors, and practitioners may be exposed to different climatic conditions, such as cold, wet or hot temperatures, which can lead to skin problems on the hands.
Protective hand gloves are recommended:
Cut-resistant gloves: Made of advanced cut-resistant materials (e.g. HPPE, Kevlar, etc.), they can effectively prevent cuts and lacerations from sharp tools.
Protective Gloves: With reinforced palms and fingertips to provide extra abrasion and impact resistance against wood chips and foreign objects.
Waterproof and Breathable Gloves: Adapts to different climatic conditions, keeps hands dry and is breathable to prevent sweaty hands.
Cold Resistant Gloves: For cold environments, the use of warm materials ensures that workers can still keep their hands warm during the cold season.
Chemical Resistant Gloves: For chemical exposure, choose gloves with chemical resistance to prevent chemicals from attacking the skin.
