De hecho, las manos y los dedos tienen m\u00e1s terminaciones nerviosas por cent\u00edmetro cuadrado y m\u00e1s receptores del dolor que cualquier otra parte del cuerpo. As\u00ed que el hecho de que <a href=\"http:\/\/ehstoday.com\/hand-risks?page=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">trabajar en un yacimiento petrol\u00edfero o perforar petr\u00f3leo conlleva un mayor riesgo para las manos y los dedos<\/a> que otras ocupaciones es poco consuelo.<\/p>\n<p>Las lesiones en manos y dedos representaron el 43% de todas las lesiones registradas en las plataformas de perforaci\u00f3n en 2014, seg\u00fan las estad\u00edsticas de la Asociaci\u00f3n Internacional de Contratistas de Perforaci\u00f3n. Esto supone un aumento respecto a a\u00f1os anteriores: en 2013, representaron el 41%, y en 2012, el 40%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lesiones habituales de los trabajadores del petr\u00f3leo en manos y dedos<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Aunque la industria petrolera es importante para Texas, al elegir trabajar en ella hay que saber que uno puede lesionarse.

En primer lugar, ser consciente de lo que puede lesionarte y tomar las precauciones necesarias puede ayudar. Si su empresa dispone de las herramientas necesarias para minimizar algunas actividades pr\u00e1cticas peligrosas mediante la aplicaci\u00f3n de controles t\u00e9cnicos, puede ser un paso adelante en la prevenci\u00f3n de lesiones. Otra medida que puede adoptar es utilizar guantes de protecci\u00f3n y asegurarse de que su empresa le proporciona guantes de protecci\u00f3n lo suficientemente c\u00f3modos para llevarlos durante todo el d\u00eda y que no le impidan realizar su trabajo.<\/p>\n<p>Por desgracia, en condiciones de trabajo dif\u00edciles se producen accidentes. Un equipo defectuoso o la negligencia de otros, o no recibir la formaci\u00f3n y el equipo de seguridad adecuados, son factores que contribuyen a las lesiones que sufren usted y sus compa\u00f1eros de trabajo en los yacimientos petrol\u00edferos.<\/p>\n<p><strong>No est\u00e1 solo si ha sufrido lesiones<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Las lesiones en manos y dedos no s\u00f3lo son dolorosas, sino que pueden afectar a su calidad de vida durante a\u00f1os. Si usted o un ser querido ha sufrido una lesi\u00f3n en la mano o el dedo en el trabajo como un campo petrol\u00edfero o trabajador de perforaci\u00f3n, usted no est\u00e1 solo. No s\u00f3lo tiene que hacer frente a la recuperaci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica de su lesi\u00f3n, sino que si queda incapacitado para trabajar temporal o permanentemente, puede estar estresado por las implicaciones financieras.
