Course overview
Screwdrivers, chisels, hammers, wrenches, portable sanders, and grinders… There’s a handy hand or power tool to help do pretty much every task imaginable. But using them comes with risks. And many workers get exposed to these risks daily as part of their job.
Estimates show that hand and power tools cause around 10% of workplace injuries. So, OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, developed standards that businesses must follow to protect employees from the risks. Leaders and managers must limit or prevent risks, and put a safety program in place to protect employees.
