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.

OSHA's Position On Hand, Wrist and Finger Safety Training

Consider the fact that we use our hands, wrists and fingers more than any other individual parts of our bodies. Whether it’s in construction, driving, office or laboratory work, these essential body components are in constant use and, as such, are susceptible to injury. The number of serious injuries to hands, wrists and fingers, that are reported, number in excess of over half a million annually. These types of injuries can include; lacerations, crushing injuries, fractures and dismemberment. In addition, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Tendinitis injury reports have become more prominent in recent times. As a result, OSHA (OSHA 1910.138) has enacted a number of mandatory regulations that are designed to protect workers from these hazards. The topics covered by our hand, wrist and finger safety training videos include:

• Hand, wrist and finger physiology
• Common hazard identification
• Proper work procedures (OSHA Standards)
• Proper tool use
• Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) (OSHA 1910.138(b))

The goal of our hand, wrist and finger videos is threefold. First of all, it’s extremely important for employees to protect themselves through the use of information presented in training.
