Human hands are unique and one of our greatest assets. Hand injuries can vary from minor cuts or irritation to amputations.
Statistics show that 20% of workplace injuries involve the hands. The vast majority of hand injuries are lacerations (63%) with crush (13%) also common. Approximately 75% of industrial injuries that cause partial disability involve the hands; in the UK over 3 million individuals seek emergency care each year for hand injuries.
Proper training is an important element in staying safe. Training is provided to ensure that all personnel have the knowledge required to carry out the task safely. If you have not been properly trained for a task, it’s quite simple. Do not carry out that task. Stop, tell your supervisor, and he or she will get a trained person to do the job.
The Health and Safety Act 1974 (HSWA) requires employers to ensure the health and safety of all employees. And anyone affected by their work, so far as is reasonably practicable. This means balancing the level of risk against the measures needed to control the risk in terms of money, time or trouble.
When deciding on the most effective and reliable way to prevent a hand injury, it is important to do a Risk Assessment. Businesses are required to carry out a risk assessment by the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999; you will find more information in the Health and safety toolbox.
