Hand, Wrist and Finger

Hands, wrists and fingers are the most used parts of an individual’s body. People use them in accomplishing tasks in every line of work, from building and construction to office and laboratory positions. Each year over 500,000 injuries are reported or are hospitalized for hands, wrists or finger injuries. The most common injuries are cuts, crushes, dismemberment, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Tendinitis, and fractures. According to the Department of Labor, one out of four occupational accidents involves a hand, wrist, or finger. To help reduce these injuries, it is important for employees to learn; the most common hazards, how to protect themselves, and emergency responses.  Our "Hand, Wrist and Finger Safety" training programs review Hand, Wrist and Finger Hazard Prevention and help employees take the steps necessary to avoid them. Topics covered in these products include: Physiology of the hand, wrist and fingers, Identification of common hazards, Proper work procedures, Tool use and maintenance, Selecting and using the appropriate personal protection equipment (PPE), Injuries and first aid, and more.
