MARCOM's Video On Demand (VOD) program on "Hand, Wrist, and Finger Safety in Construction Environments" reviews the hand, wrist, and finger hazards that employees may encounter on a job site, and shows them the equipment and safe work practices they can use to prevent injuries. Construction workers' hands are their most valuable tools. Every day their hands, wrists, and fingers are exposed to many different hazards, including cuts, bruises, burns, and crushing injuries. Ergonomic stresses can also damage them severely over time. But this doesn't have to happen. Topics covered in the program include the hand’s design and structure, safe work practices, preventing ergonomic injuries, choosing tools and using them safely, selecting the best gloves for the job, and more.
