Hand and Power Tool Safety

The Hand and Power Tool Safety course is an interactive online training program that discusses hand and power tool hazards and shows employees the equipment and safe practices they can use to prevent injuries. The course is provided in partnership with MARCOM, a top-rated safety and compliance training content provider.

Hand and power tools allow employees to perform tasks that they could never do without them. But tools can also be dangerous. Injuries involving hand and power tools send almost half a million people to the emergency room every year and cause a significant number of fatalities as well.

Areas covered in the course include hand and power tool hazards, tool inspection and maintenance, personal protective equipment (PPE), using electric power tools safely, preventing kickbacks, reducing hazards in a work area, and more. The course uses a combination of audio, full-motion video, text, and colorful graphics and is divided into logical sections so information is easily understood and retained.
