In facilities that handle chemical substances, wearing protective goggles has become mandatory.

This time, we will focus on cut injuries and chemical damage, which are believed to be common not only in labor accidents but also in near misses, and explain the characteristics of protective gloves and their proper usage. Work that requires protective equipment occurs not only in manufacturing but also in various industries. Among the many types of protective gear, gloves in particular come in a wide variety, and there may be cases where they are used improperly, reused, or not used at all despite the presence of hazardous work. However, leaving such situations unaddressed leads to the neglect of "unsafe behaviors" and "unsafe conditions," which we discussed in VOL.3, increasing the likelihood of labor accidents. In 2023, "cuts and abrasions" ranked 5th (5.61%) in labor accidents, while "contact with harmful substances" ranked 13th (0.45%). However, it is believed that there are potentially many more near misses that did not result in labor accidents. This time, we will discuss the characteristics of protective gloves and their proper usage, focusing on the more frequent cut injuries and chemical damage.

This time, we will focus on cut injuries and chemical damage, which are believed to be prevalent not only in labor accidents but also in near misses, and explain the characteristics of protective gloves and their proper usage. Work that requires protective equipment occurs not only in manufacturing but also in various industries. Among the many types of protective gear, gloves come in a wide variety, and there may be cases of improper use, reuse, or instances where protective gloves are not worn despite the work being hazardous. However, neglecting such situations leads to the continuation of [unsafe behaviors] and [unsafe conditions], as discussed in VOL.3, increasing the likelihood of labor accidents. In 2023, "cuts and abrasions" ranked 5th (5.61%) in labor accidents, while "contact with harmful substances" ranked 13th (0.45%).

Work that requires protective equipment occurs not only in manufacturing but also in various industries. Among the many types of protective gear, gloves in particular come in numerous varieties, and there may be cases where they are used improperly, reused, or not used at all despite the presence of hazardous tasks. However, allowing such situations to persist leads to the neglect of [unsafe behaviors] and [unsafe conditions], as discussed in VOL.3, increasing the likelihood of labor accidents. In 2023, "cuts and abrasions" ranked 5th (5.61%) in labor accidents, while "contact with harmful substances" ranked 13th (0.45%). However, it is believed that there are potentially many more near misses that did not result in labor accidents. This time, we will focus on the more frequent cut injuries and chemical damage, discussing the characteristics of each type of protective glove and their appropriate usage.
