Evaluation of the risk factors for acute occupational hand injuries.
To evaluate the effect of demographic and occupational factors on the severity of the acute occupational hand injuries. ⋯ The potentially modifiable factors such as the working conditions, safety training and use of gloves are important in the etiology of occupational acute hand injury. Most probably, in this study the size of the sample was not large enough to be able to demonstrate any relation between these and the injury severity. However, attempts to modify these factors by various strategies may reduce the incidence of acute hand injury at work. Precautions and widespread educational programs can prevent occupational acute hand injury.
