Hand
Protection
There are 34 muscles, 27 bones, 48 named-nerves, and over 100 ligaments in each hand – with 17,000 touch receptors and free nerve endings found in the palm of a human hand that pass on the vital sensations of pressure, vibration and movement.
Our hands are only protected by a thin layer of skin, fat and muscle, this makes the hands quite vulnerable. Hand protection in the workplace, especially against the threat of cut, chemicals, and other mechanical risks, is vital.

We have seen a marked reduction relating to cuts and injuries since working with Lyreco and moving our workforce over to Traffiglove.
