The Center for Construction Research and Training (CPWR) has launched a new website to help contractors and trades workers prevent common hand injuries and ailments. Developed under the guidance of the Masonry Research to Practice Partnership, Choosehandsafety.org provides industry specific information on the risks and how to prevent hand injuries, such as cuts, tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome or skin disorders that can impact the quality of work and productivity on the job. Resources include what to look for when choosing hand tools and gloves and training materials, such as presentations, toolbox talks and handouts, are available for download.
