Event Description

Workplace hazards often go unnoticed until an injury occurs, but a strong hand safety program identifies risks before they lead to incidents. So, how do you assess worksites to recognize these hidden dangers and eliminate or reduce preventable hand injuries?

Join us as we explore how to look at your worksite from a new perspective, identify overlooked hazards and explore the Hierarchy of Controls to reduce risks before they lead to injury.

Learn:

  • How to look at your worksite with fresh eyes to identify overlooked hazards.
  • Why personal protective equipment should be the last line of defense protecting workers from hand injuries.
  • How to apply the Hierarchy of Controls to eliminate or reduce risks.
