- Be aware of the positions and movements of your hands and wrists as you work.
- Try to alternate or change your movements to reduce repetition and strain.
- Rotate functions and vary tasks.
- Plan the work and work area to suit yourself rather than the machine.
- Tools should be light and balanced, and be the right size for you.
- Tool handles should be bent so that the wrist stays in a comfortable, natural position.
- Whenever possible, work with your forearms close to your body and supported.
- Doctors may advise wrist supports to prevent twisting injuries.
Abrasions
Abrasions and lacerations occur when skin is rubbed away by friction from belts, sanders, grinders and rough materials. Broken skin allows for easy absorption of toxic or infectious substances by the body. Cuts
Cuts can occur when you use dull cutting tools or handle sharp metals and other materials with jagged edges.

Hand Anatomy & Common Injuries
Common injuries:
Your hands power every task. Bones, tendons, nerves, and small muscles work together. When one part is stressed or cut, everything suffers. Protecting grip strength and sensation is the goal.
Grip strength is the force your hand, wrist, and forearm muscles can generate to hold or lift objects, and it's an important measure of overall health and fitness, not just hand power. It indicates your ability to perform daily tasks, such as opening jars and carrying groceries, and is linked to better balance, mobility, and a reduced risk of injury. You can improve grip strength through various exercises and it can be measured with a hand dynamometer
Fractures occur in what are referred to as "hand traps", such as wheels, pulleys and rollers, or when the hand strikes a hard object.
Golden Rule: If a task risks loss of control (slip, shift, drop) or line-of-fire (moving edges, closing gaps), pause and adjust before you start.

Crush injuries damage deep tissues and bones. They occur when your hand is caught between two solid parts that strike each other, such as falling objects, drawers and doors.

ERGONOMIC RISK FACTORS Avoid awkward wrist postures Minimize high-force gripping or lifting Limit repetitive hand movements and allow recovery breaks
Hand sensations like numbness, tingling, and pins-and-needles (paresthesia) can be caused by many factors.

Power Grip vs Pinch Grip
In ergonomic design, tools and handles should be shaped and sized to accommodate a power grip. Cylindrical or contoured handles that fit comfortably within the palm encourage users to adopt a power grip rather than a pinch grip, which relies on only the fingertips and thumb and places higher stress on the wrist and small joints
