Description

In the recycled materials industry, hands are one of the most valuable—and vulnerable—tools workers have. With sharp edges, heavy machinery, and unpredictable materials, hand injuries are a persistent hazard that can lead to lost productivity, increased costs, and long-term health consequences.

Join KPA's Shawn Smith, Senior Product Director of Training,  for this informative webinar where we’ll explore real-world hand safety case studies and best practices to reduce injuries. We'll discuss:

  • Common hand injury risks in recycling facilities
  • Effective PPE selection, including glove types and materials
  • Practical training techniques for improving hand safety awareness
  • Real-world success stories from recycling operations that have reduced incidents

Whether you're a safety manager, supervisor, or frontline worker, this session will provide actionable insights to strengthen your hand safety program and keep employees protected.
