Medical cost from treatment to recovery can also be extremely draining considering the fact the injuries may lead to loss of functioning and sensation eventually lead to inability of worker to perform basic tasks resulting in losing their job.

Preventing Hand Injuries
Employers have the responsibility of ensuring that all the workers are working in safe conditions. So to prevent injuries, hand safety programs should be implemented, and plenty of appropriate equipment should be provided to the workers – in this case, the right equipment would be hand protection gloves.

The most effective ways of ensuring hand safety as suggested by experts are as follows:
1. Identifying Hazards:
Precedent matters, and knowing the potential dangers that cause the most hand injuries is the first step to prevent further hand injuries. The most common hand hazards are rotating parts, hot and/or cold materials, sharp edges, automated machines, and unsafe clothing.
2. Reducing Hazards:
Building barriers between the hazards and the employees reduces hand injuries greatly. One of those barriers is the use of industrial safety hand gloves. 70% of the hand injuries caused at the workplace occurred because the workers weren’t wearing safety gloves.
3. Encourage Workers to Follow Safe Work Practices:
Give workers plenty of training before they start working, and implement and monitor those trainings by encouraging workers to follow them on the daily.
