Every year over 500,000 workers injure their hands, wrists or fingers. Since it's difficult to be highly productive while recovering from these injuries, the loss in productivity-not to mention the Worker's Compensation costs-is staggering.
This finger, wrist and hand safety presentation demonstrates how injuries can be caused by poor ergonomics, blunt-force trauma, or the piercing or cutting of hands or fingers. Injuries can result from a poor understanding of power tool, equipment or hand tool safety. Such technical precautions as hand wrist safety products, using special techniques for wrist safety while using laptops, and finger safety switches and finger shields, make a big difference.
