Hand Safety Training

Hand Safety Training.

Hand Safety Training.

Hands work closer to tools, loads and moving parts than anything else. Our hand safety training makes pinch points, line-of-fire moments and glove decisions stick.

Did you know?

Hand injuries are among the most common lost-time incidents in industry, and among the most preventable. The right training changes what workers notice before they reach in.

Hand Safety Training

Hand safety training targets one of the most common injury categories in industry: hand and finger injuries. Hands work closer to tools, loads and moving parts than any other part of the body, and the injury mechanisms repeat across sites:

  • Pinch and crush points between moving parts
  • Cuts and lacerations from blades and sharp edges
  • Entanglement with rotating equipment
  • Caught-between injuries during lifting and rigging
  • Burns, both thermal and chemical

Gloves are an important control, but they don't remove the risk on their own. Hand placement decides whether a hand is in the path when a load shifts, a tool slips or a part rotates.

Hand safety training builds placement habits. Workers learn to identify the pinch point before reaching in, choose the right tool and grip for the task, and apply your glove standards correctly. The goal is a workforce that checks where its hands are before every task starts.

Maersk hand safety campaign visuals by SHIIFT
Why SHIIFT

SHIIFT has no favorite format, and that's the point: we produce all of them, so hand safety training gets the mix your workforce actually needs. Content targets the tasks and tools your injury data points at.

  • Training videos: injury stories and survivor accounts that change how people treat their hands
  • Animation: pinch points, blades and rotating parts shown in slow motion, so the mechanism is understood before it's met
  • E-learning: glove selection and hand placement fundamentals for every worker, recorded and repeatable for new starters
  • Interactive scenarios: placement decisions on realistic tasks, scored per learner so the training proves itself
  • VR: the near-miss experienced safely, where that intensity earns its place
  • Posters: campaign visuals in the style of our award-recognized Maersk program, refreshed through the year
  • PowerPoint materials: toolbox decks on the month's hand risks, ready for supervisors to deliver

Hand safety works well as a sustained campaign rather than a one-off course, and we'll recommend the mix honestly.

Get Started

Hand safety works best as a sustained campaign: a high-impact centerpiece, task-specific scenarios for high-risk crews, toolbox-talk animations and refresher variants through the year.

Every element reuses the same equipment models and reports engagement to your LMS where you take that option. The campaign also pairs naturally with hazard recognition and Life-Saving Rules programs.

Common questions

How does a hand safety campaign stay fresh through the year?

+

We plan it in waves: a strong opening piece, task-specific scenarios for high-risk crews, toolbox films and animations through the year, poster refreshes, and scenario variants so refreshers demand real decisions again.

Can it reflect our specific tools and tasks?

+

We build the training around your tools and tasks, informed by your injury data, and where a program calls for 3D scenarios we model the equipment itself, so the pinch points people see in training are the ones they work near.

Which formats work for hand safety training?

+

We build hand safety training in every format: films, animation, e-learning, interactive scenarios, VR and posters. The mix is built around your tasks, your injury data, your sites and your campaign calendar.

How does this connect to our gloves policy?

+

We build your glove selection and use decisions into the scenarios, so policy becomes trained behavior rather than a matrix on a wall.

Can training assets be reused for future courses?

+

Where a program builds 3D assets, we reuse your tool and equipment models across procedure training, hazard hunts and future campaign waves at reduced cost.

How do we measure hand safety training impact?

+

We report engagement and assessment data per learner through your LMS where you take the SCORM option, and we read it alongside the hand-injury and near-miss trends your HSE team already tracks.
