Introduction
According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, 186,830 nonfatal work-related injuries of hands and wrists resulted in days away from work. We know cuts and puncture wounds are common causes of occupational injuries that have come from any sharp object. From cutting paper with scissors to metal sheeting at the warehouse, both are the main reasons for getting painful injuries and require immediate medical attention.
Cuts and puncture wounds penetrate within the skin's natural protective barrier and allow contaminants to enter that may result in serious infection or disease. We designed this course to equip employees to learn skills on handling sharp objects safely, common causes of cuts and punctures, health risks, and general safety practices.
