Best Practices for Hand Safety in Component Manufacturing

Return to Webinars

Tuesday, June 30 2020 1:00pm (America/Chicago)

One of the most important “tools” used in every day component manufacturing is a production worker’s hands. From placing lumber and plates to using hand and power tools, it’s critical to protect your team from injuries to their hands, fingers, palms, and wrists. Unfortunately, hand injuries send more than one million people to the emergency room every year. Furthermore, the results of the 2018 SBCA Safety Survey showed that 75 percent of respondents listed cuts, lacerations, and punctures as the most common types of injuries experienced in their plants. Join members of SBCA’s Safety Committee as they share best practices they are using to manage and mitigate hand injuries.
