Hand Safety Talk

26 Oct 2024

This week, we’ve continued to spotlight critical risk awareness with one of our focused topics being hand safety – an essential part of our daily routines.

Our Project Manager, Gary, shared a powerful story with the team. Back in 2011, while working on a fishing trawler, he suffered a serious hand injury. His story isn’t just about physical recovery but sheds light on the mental and financial toll an injury can take on you and your loved ones.

Our hands are constantly in use, from gripping a tool to typing on a keyboard or using a phone. Let’s make sure we’re always protecting them by:
✅ Using the right equipment
✅ Following proper safety procedures
✅ Keeping hands out of the “line of fire”
