Fortunately, even though we are constantly exposing our hands to varying degrees of risk, many of the injuries suffered are relatively minor, such as small cuts, abrasions and minor infections. Many serious injuries can occur on work sites such as hands and fingers being crushed, punctured, lacerated, burnt and even amputated. This program looks closely at the main hazard groups (mechanical, chemical, thermal and general hazards) and the accident prevention measures that can be addressed (elimination, substitution, administrative controls and engineering controls).

Our feet provide us with balance and support for our bodies and enable us to walk, run, drive, operate machinery, play sports and so on. Falling objects cause the largest number of foot injuries in the workplace, however, there are however numerous other potential hazards that can lead to injuries. This program addresses: why people injure their feet, common types of foot injuries, steps to prevent foot injuries, evaluation of foot injury hazards, control measures for existing hazards and safety footwear.

This program explains the concept of the Recognition, Evaluation and Control of Hazards, or REACH. The program includes: a definition of REACH; why REACH is a vital principle of the workplace safety; how to recognize, evaluate and effectively control hazards in the workplace; the different methods of hazard control, including elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls and personal protective equipment; examples of common workplace hazards and examples of control measures that can be put into place to reduce the risk; and an emphasis of how REACH should be applied to all workplace hazards.
