All too often hand injuries show up on first aid and injury logs. Injuries to the hand can include lacerations, contusions, broken bones, repetitive trauma, and sadly, amputations.
As we all know, the last line of defense in the prevention of injuries and illnesses is Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). A product that has been extremely effective in reducing hand lacerations is the Terminator® glove by Banom® Glove Company (www.banom.com).
The Terminator® is made from Max-Ply® Dyneema®, a new patented cut-resistant fiber developed by Banom® Glove. It has helped Fortune 500 companies reduce or eliminate hand lacerations while reducing total spend for personal protective equipment.
The Terminator® glove has worked well because it fits properly, is available in ten sizes, provides great dexterity, and is comfortable to wear. It is also very cut-resistant (not cut-proof), and has a cut level 2 rating based on the ASTM F1790-04 test and Level 3 using the EN388 standard. The longevity of the glove is a key factor in providing cost effective hand protection and the glove can be cleaned very easily. Another key factor to this particular glove is its ability to keep the hand cool while working.
As you think about goals for 2009, hand safety might be on the list. We are here to help if necessary.
