Hand Safety
This course's aim is to augment workers' understanding of the susceptibility of hands to injury and to impart knowledge on safe practices. The ultimate goal is to mitigate or entirely avoid hand-related injuries at the workplace.
This course, "Hand Safety", has been designed to amplify workers' understanding of the susceptibility of hands to injury and to impart knowledge on safe hand practices. It aims to mitigate or entirely avoid hand-related injuries at the workplace. Given that nearly every job involves the use of hands, they are implicated in up to 80% of injuries at work. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control states that hand injuries account for over a million visits to the emergency room each year. By reducing the frequency of hand injury incidents, we can decrease lost work time, thereby maintaining productivity and the quality of life for workers.
Upon successful completion of the "Hand Safety" course, you should be able to:
- Recognize common threats to hand safety
- Enumerate techniques and tools that can prevent hand injuries
- Understand the variations in hand protection equipment (gloves)
- Introduction
- Hand Hazards
- Preventing Injuries
- Selecting the Correct Gloves
