Accidents are usually caused by boredom, inattentiveness or distractions in the workplace and by not thinking what can go wrong before it goes wrong. Encourage workers to think smart, before an accident happens. Make sure that it doesn't.

Following established safety guidelines and using protective guards, shields, gloves and other personal protective devices as needed, can save a worker’s hands from injury and your company from unnecessary disability claims.
