  • Title: How to protect the hands.
    Author: Estlander T, Jolanki R.
    Journal: Dermatol Clin; 1988 Jan; 6(1):105-14. PubMed ID: 2968208.
    Abstract:
    Hand protection entails many problems. There is a wide variety of individual differences in the types of skin among human beings, and an even wider variety of chemicals to be handled and working methods to be learned in various workplaces. There are great differences in the degree of experience and education among job applicants and thus in their ability to understand the importance of instructions on safe working methods and the use of personal protective equipment. Therefore, proper employee selection is an important and demanding task for occupational health care personnel and dermatologists. Despite these complexities, an appropriate means of hand protection is essential in the prevention of many skin disorders and injuries.
