Assembly line work demands precision and speed. Workers handle small parts, operate tools, and maintain pace with the line — all day, every day. Hand injuries disrupt production and can end careers.
The challenge is finding protection that works within the constraints of assembly operations. Bulky gloves slow you down. Bare hands leave you vulnerable. The solution is targeted protection that addresses specific hazards without interfering with work.
Common Assembly Hazards
Assembly workers face cuts from sharp edges and burrs, abrasions from repetitive part handling, pinch points from fixtures and tools, and cumulative trauma from repetitive motions. Each hazard has its own protection requirements.
Targeted Protection Strategy
Self-adhering tape wraps provide targeted protection for specific vulnerable areas. Protect fingertips that contact sharp edges. Wrap knuckles that brush against abrasive surfaces. Add grip to palms for secure part handling. This approach provides protection where needed while preserving dexterity for precise work.
Protection that slows production won't be used. Workers will remove gloves that interfere with quota. Effective protection must work within production realities, not against them.
