Hand, Wrist and Finger Safety in Construction Environments

Our hands, wrists and fingers are valuable tools... the most valuable we will ever own. Whether we are completing a project at work or playing catch with the kids - our hands are involved in just about everything we do. In fact, we use our hands so much that they are exposed to a multitude of hazards. Throughout the day our hands can encounter hazards such as:

• Machines with heavy or fast moving parts that can pinch or grab.
• Sharp tools that can cut or puncture.
