How This Talk Applies To My They are exposed to more hazards than any other part of the Crew: body. Finger and hand-related injuries account for 18% of all disabling injuries. Hands can be: • caught in machines • crushed by objects • cut by saws, wires, and other objects • burned, punched, and scraped • sprained • bruised • strained • twisted • fractured • amputated. Chemicals or hazardous materials present their own special or unique hazards. Before using any chemicals or hazardous materials, the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) on that material should be reviewed to determine what personal protective equipment is required, including the necessary hand protection. Ask your crew to think about what life would be like without their hands. Tell them to think about how many hundreds of times they use them each day. © 2003 Liberty Mutual Group – All Rights Reserved 1
