Published by SALUSTo create a hand protection policy and recommend gloves for your construction company, consider these points:
- Assess Workplace Hazards: Evaluate the specific tasks performed by your employees and identify potential hand hazards such as cuts, abrasions, punctures, chemical exposures, and temperature extremes 3, 6, 9.
- Glove Selection: Choose gloves that are appropriate for the hazards identified. Consider factors such as the material's resistance to chemicals, abrasion, and punctures, as well as the glove's dexterity and grip 6, 7, 9.
- Material Recommendations: Several documents recommend nitrile gloves 2, 11, 13. Some documents recommend gloves made from Fluoroelastomer Polymer laminate 6, 7, 9.
- Waterproof Gloves: For tasks involving wet conditions or exposure to liquids, use suitable waterproof gloves 1, 8.
- Proper Fit: Ensure gloves fit properly to provide adequate protection and prevent hand fatigue. Follow the glove manufacturer's guidance 4, 5, 11, 19.
- Inspection and Maintenance: Regularly inspect gloves for damage, wear, and tear. Replace gloves as needed to maintain their protective properties 12, 15, 16, 17.
- Training: Train employees on the proper use, care, and limitations of gloves. Include instructions on how to put on and remove gloves correctly to avoid contamination 4, 14, 19.
- Hygiene: Emphasize the importance of hand hygiene. Workers should wash their hands thoroughly before and after wearing gloves 2, 4, 5, 10, 11, 13, 15, 16, 19.
- Review and Update: Periodically review and update your hand protection policy to ensure it remains effective and relevant to the changing needs of your construction operations.
