| Abstract |
This booklet provides guidance on the selection of ergonomically designed non-powered hand tools. The information and the hand tool checklist are based on peer-reviewed articles and expert input. The checklist has been evaluated for reliability in identifying the presence or absence of basic ergonomic design criteria. Use of the correct tool will help reduce a worker's risk of injury, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis or muscle strain. |
