Description

The majority of hand and power tool injuries happen to the hands and fingers.  OSHA estimates that almost 20% of all disabling accidents on the job involve the hands. In 2010, 29% of injuries due to contact with objects or equipment were cuts, lacerations or punctures. Twenty-six percent of these contact with objects or equipment incidents involved an injury to a finger or fingernail; 15 percent affected the head; and the hands (excluding fingers) and feet (including toes) each represented 10 percent. 

OSHA regulations state that the employer is responsible for the safe condition of tools and equipment used by employees. Employers shall not issue or permit the use of unsafe hand tools. Employees should be trained in the proper use and handling of tools and equipment. Upon completion of this learning event, employees will demonstrate knowledge of the importance of hand and power tool safety and how to achieve it. Employees will learn the common hazards of different types of hand and power tools, including electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and abrasive-wheel tools and how to minimize or eliminate those hazards.
