Hand injuries are the second most frequent injury in the restaurant industry after slips, trips, and falls. OSHA estimates that hand injuries cost the foodservice industry around $300 million a year in workers’ compensation and lost work time.
Gloves which cover the entire hand or fist but do not have separate finger openings or sheaths are called mittens. … Gloves protect and comfort hands against cold or heat, damage by friction, abrasion or chemicals, and disease; or in turn to provide a guard for what a bare hand should not touch.
The primary function of Mitts Gloves is to protect hands from some of the extreme heat encountered in a commercial kitchen when reaching into a hot oven.
