Prevention
Hand Tools
- make sure you are trained to competently use the tools before operating them
- wear safety glasses/goggles and gloves when appropriate
- use a tool belt to carry tools at your sides, never behind your back
- ensure tool handles are secured to the tool head (i.e. hammer, screwdriver, files, etc.)
- always use the appropriate tool for the specific job
- use tools that allow wrists to work at neutral angles
- clean and maintain tools to keep them in proper working condition. Replace worn tools
- carry tools in a sturdy box to and from worksites
- pull on wrenches and pliers, never push
- never point sharp tools toward walkways or aisles
