Bites Are One of the Most Common Workplace Injuries in Behavioral Health
In behavioral health and crisis intervention settings, staff are often exposed to sudden aggression and defensive behaviors. One of the most frequent injuries reported by frontline staff is forearm biting during physical holds, redirection, or crisis restraint situations.
When a client bites, injuries can lead to:
- Skin punctures and bruising
- Blood exposure and infection risk
- Lost work time
- Staff burnout and turnover
- Costly workers comp claims
The right protective equipment helps reduce injury risk and improves staff confidence during high-risk interactions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these bite-proof?
No protective gear can guarantee complete bite-proof performance. However, these guards provide a strong protective barrier that can help reduce injury severity and help protect staff during high-risk interactions.
Are these only for martial arts?
While originally designed for martial arts training and impact protection, many behavioral health professionals use them as protective gear for workplace safety.
Do they restrict movement?
They are designed to allow strong mobility while still providing coverage. Most staff find they can safely perform holds, redirection, and restraint techniques with full range of motion.
Are they comfortable? Are they hot to wear?
Our arm guards are available in 5 sizes for a perfect fit. Breathable fabric and flex channels in the padding won't make your hands or arms hot or sweaty - even with extended use.
Can they be washed and sanitized?
Yes! Just wash in a standard washing machine and air dry. Facilities often wipe them down between uses using standard cleaning practices appropriate for their environment.
