According to a study conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), 70 percent of workers suffer from hand injuries simply because they don’t wear hand protection. Workers complain that work gloves aren’t comfortable and prevent dexterous hand movements, often slowing down their productivity. “The other 30 percent of workers,” says the BLS, “wear gloves that are “inadequate, damaged or wrong for the type of hazard.”
Fortunately, these statistics will improve in the coming years because technological advances will revolutionize hand protection by providing extra protection, dexterity, durability and comfort.
