Seven ways to reduce hand injuries in manufacturing environments
|
|
by Brenda Nader
While protecting the overall health and well-being of employees should be an employer's paramount concern, special attention must be paid to preventing hand and finger injuries, which are second only to back strains and sprains in lost workdays, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Some studies show that nearly 20% of workplace injuries involve cuts and lacerations to the hand and fingers.
Not only are there an estimated 110,000 lost time hand injuries annually, but hand injuries send more than one million workers to the emergency room each year. In addition to the physical harm that hand injuries pose to workers, they also have financial implications. The average hand injury claim has now exceeded $6,000, with each lost time workers' compensation claim reaching nearly $7,500, according to the BLS and the National Safety Council. When you consider these statistics, the overall drain on employee productivity is apparent.
