How important are your hands?
The hand is one of the most complex parts of your body - the
movement of the tendons, bones, tissues and nerves allows you to
grip and do a wide variety of complex jobs
Hand injuries are likely when the wrong tool is used or the right tool
is used improperly

Hand Care
Avoid washing your hands with solvents, harsh soaps,
or abrasives
Clean and bandage all cuts and abrasions
Immediately remove any imbedded foreign materials
Wash immediately after using any chemical Even if
you did not detect leakage
Pay attention to skin rashesget an immediate medical
evaluation
Wear cotton gloves under rubber gloves to reduce
sweating
Types of Injuries
Cuts, fractures, punctures and amputations
Cuts or lacerations May sever nerves, tendons or muscle or
become infected
Fractures can damage nearby tissue and be difficult to repair
Dermatitis and burns are caused by direct contact with
chemicals, detergents, metals, or very hot or cold objects
Dermatitis may show up immediately after contact with a
chemical causing the skin to become red, swollen, itchy, or
burning, and may develop blisters
Dermatitis may develop after several contacts with chemicals
known as sensitizers - Nothing happens initially, later contacts
with the chemical produce an allergic reaction
Carpal tunnel syndrome results from prolonged repetitive
work with the hands - This condition can be disabling
and can have a variety of temporary symptoms like
swelling, tingling, numbness, and pain in the hands or
fingers
First Aid
Cuts: Apply direct pressure to a large or bleeding cut and elevate the hand
above the shoulder - Clean a small cut with soap and warm water and cover
it with a sterile bandage
Burns: Immerse in cool water or run cool water over the burned area
Broken bones: Keep the hand still and get professional help
Heat burns: Soak minor burns in cold water, then apply a sterile bandage -
A burn that is charred or blistered requires medical attention

So watch out!!!
