This review details the development of an industrial hand injury-prevention program. The "Handle with Care" initiative successfully reduced workplace hand injuries and costs.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational therapy
  • Public health
  • Injury prevention

Background:

  • Industrial hand injuries pose significant economic and health burdens.
  • Effective prevention programs are crucial for workforce well-being.
  • Existing programs often lack comprehensive strategies for initiation and marketing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the development of an industrial hand injury-prevention program.
  • To encourage hand therapists to implement similar prevention initiatives.
  • To provide a framework for program initiation, content, and marketing.

Main Methods:

  • Describing the initiation process for a prevention program.
  • Detailing the content of a training seminar.
  • Outlining presentation and marketing strategies.
