Our Hand Safety training course is regulation compliant, and our online version fulfills OSHA’s classroom training requirement. Each course contains sections on common injuries, safe operations, PPE, hazards, and more.

This presentation includes intermittent practice quiz questions to prepare the student for the final written exam included with the course.

Though you will still need to familiarize yourself with all other applicable federal, state, and local standards, this training encompasses the following standards for Hand Safety:

OSHA estimates that hand injuries cost employers over $700 million in lost production time, medical expenses, and worker compensation each year. Studies have also found that hand and wrist injuries account for 20% of work-related hospital visits.

The standards and regulations make it very clear that employees must be trained (no matter how long they’ve been on the job) and that it is the employer who is responsible for overseeing that safety training and confirming that the employees have the understanding, knowledge, and skills needed for safe operations.

Standards and regulations acknowledge the need for “refresher” or “follow-up” training whenever there is a demonstrated need for it. A so-called “free-pass” cannot be awarded based on experience, age, or time on the job. The extent of the evaluation is to be determined by the employer but should include a written and practical examination that prove continued competency.
