The latest development is new coil fiber technology that provides excellent cut resistance with unmatched dexterity. The technology behind these newest fibers in the hand protection arena combines a stainless steel core with DuPont Kevlar s proven cut-resistance for ultimate hand protection from cuts and lacerations. Everyone — from road construction workers, who will likely wear the hi-vis glove models with this new fiber, to masons, roofers, carpenters, glass cutters and virtually every other construction trade — stands to benefit from this next step in hand protection evolution. 

Carpenters are construction workers. Most carpenters work in building sites, but these craftsmen (very few of them are women) also work in tunnel work sites, mines, bridge-building sites and in shipyards. Some carpenters work in plants manufacturing prefabricated building units and houses. Construction carpenters build wooden forms for concrete, mount wall frames, put up roof frames, install insulation, panel walls and ceilings, install doors and window frames, put-up acoustic tiles, lay wooden floor panels and install cabins. Some specialisation into different job tasks is possible. 

Morbidity data on carpenters dermatoses are difficult to obtain, because in the literature carpenters are included as part of the construction-workers group. According to data from the Finnish Register of Occupational Diseases, the annual prevalence of occupational dermatoses was 3.66 cases for every 10,000 construction carpenters in 1989-1997. During the same time period, the prevalence of allergic contact... 

Some occupational groups indicate that achievement pressure is an important contributing factor to fall accidents. This is true especially for masons, construction workers, carpenters, and painters. 

A recent study published by the British Medical Journal has found that there are 1800 mesothelioma deaths each year in Britain. Since this disease can take between 15 and 60 years to develop, the peak of the epidemic has still to be reached. In the construction industry, those at risk are asbestos removal workers and those, such as electricians, plumbers and carpenters, who are involved in refurbishment, maintenance or repair of buildings. 

As the costly and intensive groundword was being completed, two job seminars hosted by the Virginia Department of Corrections and Red Onion s contractor (that is. Brown and Root of Richmond) called for the next round of laborers carpenters, masons and cement finishers, electricians, plumbers and pipefitters, sheet metal workers and welders (Lester, 1996b). Although so much of the prisons construction can be traced to distant firms, DMJM in California and Gilbane in Maryland, for example, the laborers who physically worked on the prison s construction were predominately local. In fact, maximum local participation was written into the mission...
