This document discusses hand safety and common hand injuries. Over 16 million people suffer hand injuries each year, with crushing or compression injuries being most common. Proper use of protective equipment and following safety guidelines can help prevent many injuries. Some key risks include unguarded machinery, improper tool use, lack of gloves or other protection, and not disconnecting power or following lockout procedures before repairs. Always select the right tool for each job and take precautions to protect your hands.
Your hands are the most important tool you have. Still each year over 16 million people suffer hand injuries from industrial related accidents. Over 250,000 of these injuries are serious and often disabling injuries. This represents 25% of all industrial injuries.
Your hands are your most valuable tools. Nothing has ever been invented that can match them for practicality and adaptability. That’s why it’s so important to protect your hands, both at work and at home.
Every year, there are numerous accidents caused by the improper use of hand tools. Most are painful and tender for days or weeks, causing discomfort not just at work but also at home restricting your leisure activities.
Many risks can be controlled by ensuring the hand tools we use are the correct tools for the task, that they are used properly and maintained in a good condition.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
WRI’s brand new “Food Service Playbook for Promoting Sustainable Food Choices” gives food service operators the very latest strategies for creating dining environments that empower consumers to choose sustainable, plant-rich dishes. This research builds off our first guide for food service, now with industry experience and insights from nearly 350 academic trials.
