You need your hands for most common activities, especially at work, so preventing hand injuries is something to keep front of mind. Unfortunately, hand safety is often overlooked and hand and finger injuries in the workplace continue to be common. Prevention also matters because it works: with the right approach, hand injuries are almost completely avoidable. The National Safety Council has these strong words about prevention: “Every 7 seconds, a worker is injured on the job. These numbers are staggering, and the worst part is that each one is preventable.”
