Hand, wrist, and finger injuries can have serious and lasting consequences, especially in construction environments where workers face sharp edges, hot or cold surfaces, moving equipment, pinch points, heavy materials, and power tools. This online training helps employees understand how their hands and wrists work, how traumatic and ergonomic injuries occur, and how preparation and safe work practices can help prevent them. The course covers identifying jobsite hazards, inspecting hand and power tools, checking guards and safety devices, keeping hands clear of moving parts and pinch points, lifting and handling materials safely, and using tools without excessive force. Learners also explore ergonomic risks such as repetitive motions, awkward positions, vibration, and bent wrists. The training explains how to choose, inspect, and use gloves designed for specific hazards, including cuts, heat, chemicals, and biological materials. By completing this training, learners will be better prepared to protect their hands, wrists, and fingers on the job.
