Have you ever thought about what it would be like to lose a finger? A thumb? A hand? Both hands?
Your arms and hands are the tools you need to do a variety of tasks, both job-related and personal. Without the use of these tools, many everyday tasks would be difficult or impossible to perform. Some may require extensive therapy and training to relearn. The wrists and hands are complex and extremely difficult to repair.1 Consequently, it is very important to control or provide good protection from hazards that present a threat to fingers, hands, and arms. It only takes a second for a life-changing event to occur.
