Hand protection
The melting and forming processes involve extreme heat, often exceeding 1700°C. Workers handling molten glass or working near furnaces face the risk of severe burns and heat-related illnesses. Cutting and handling glass can also result in sharp edges and fragments, posing risks of cuts and lacerations. Proper handling techniques and protective gloves are essential to mitigate these risks. Workers also handle various chemicals used in processes such as coating and finishing. These chemicals can be hazardous if they come into contact with the skin, necessitating the use of appropriate protective equipment and safety protocols.
