The hand is one of the most intricate parts of the human body. It allows the ability to perform simple or complex jobs that would otherwise be impossible attempting with any other part of the body. According to statistics released by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), hand injuries account for over one million emergency room visits by workers each year in the United States. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Well over 10,000 days-away-from-work are estimated from finger and hand lacerations. This injury figure is second only to back sprain and strain injury. These hand injuries cost the construction industry alone over $380 million each year in downtime, lost man-hours, medical fees and legal costs.
