Most people have injured themselves with a tool at least once in their lives. In fact, learning to use some tools seems to "require" a little pain. Unfortunately, tool accidents result in thousands of serious injuries and hundreds of deaths each year... most of which could have been avoided by simply handling tools safely. To avoid these types of accidents employees need to know how to handle their tools safely. But this can be a difficult task since every tool has its own unique set of hazards.

Atlantic's training products on "Hand and Power Tool Safety in Construction Environments" discuss hand and power tool hazards, and show employees the equipment and safe practices they can use to prevent injuries on a job site.

• Hand and power tool hazards.
• Tool inspection and maintenance.
• Personal protective equipment (PPE).
• Using electrical power tools safely.
• Preventing kickbacks.
• Reducing hazards in a work area.
• and more.
