Enhancing workplace safety: Hand injury awareness at Douglas OHI

Douglas OHI recently conducted a Hand Injury Awareness Session to reinforce the company’s commitment to health, safety, and wellbeing across its operations. The session aimed to educate employees on the prevention of hand injuries, highlight potential workplace risks, and promote safe practices to protect one of the most critical tools in day-to-day work - our hands.

The programme covered essential topics including:
• Common causes of hand injuries on site and in operational settings.
• Preventive measures and correct handling techniques for tools and equipment.
• The importance of using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
• Emergency response procedures and first aid for hand injuries.

By actively engaging staff in discussions and practical demonstrations, the session fostered a proactive approach to hand safety, encouraging employees to identify hazards, mitigate risks, and adopt safer work habits.

Douglas OHI remains dedicated to cultivating a strong safety culture across all projects. Initiatives such as the Hand Injury Awareness Session demonstrate the our focus on continuous learning, risk prevention, and safeguarding the wellbeing of its workforce.
