The International Association of Drilling Contractors reports that injuries to fingers accounted for one-third of total recordable injuries and almost 20 percent of lost-time injuries. But with the glove protection market now valued at more $100 million globally, it can be hard for safety professionals to select the right level of protection. Led by experts in the field who have helped shape and build these new standards, this session will explore the recent updates to hand standards and give an inside look at ISEA 105, NFPA 2112 and ISEA 138. Join us to learn about the latest standards and make sure you’re protecting your workers’ hands.
