Galvanize wire hangers laundry plant
I handle galvanize wire hangers all day. I put pants and shirts on them in a industrial laundry. I handle thousands a day one at a time. Is this dangerous to me?

Hi, Pete.
I have never heard of reports of this being dangerous, and don't have reason to expect it to be. But a lot of possible occupational hazards of this nature tend to not be studied over years or decades. I think the appropriate thing to do if you are doing this all day every day would be to wear gloves. Even toll takers do.

I think that there is a risk of repetitive strain injury in what you describe.
