Every workplace is different. A comprehensive risk assessment is therefore the essential first step to safer use of hand tools. This will help to identify the level of risk, which will be greater where tools are used at height, for example.
What are the main health concerns in working with hand tools? Along with common injuries such as cuts, lacerations, and bruises, the frequent and prolonged use of hand tools can cause soreness, aches, pains, and fatigue. These injuries, which, when ignored, can lead to chronic musculoskeletal injuries (MSIs).
Most important hazards: Blows and cuts to the hands or other parts of the body. Eye injuries due to the projection of fragments or particles. Sprains due to very abrupt movements or strains.
The method is intended for the assessment of those tasks involving the hands and arms, where lower leg and torso activity is minimal, e.g., tasks involving the assembly or disassembly of components, work undertaken by hairdressers or barbers, the sorting or packaging of products, or sanding/woodwork tasks.
Wear safety glasses or goggles, or a face shield (with safety glasses or goggles). Wear an approved respirator or dust mask when exposed to harmful or nuisance dusts. Use appropriate hearing protection equipment in noisy areas. Check the retracting lower blade guard to make certain it works freely.

The four common risk assessment tools are: risk matrix, decision tree, failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA), and bowtie model. Other risk assessment techniques include the what-if analysis, failure tree analysis, Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) and Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) analysis.
Hand-Saw Precautions Wear eye protection when using a hand saw. Do not test saw teeth on hands or fingers to determine whether a hand saw is sharp. Carry a hand saw by its handle with the saw end pointed down. Use the proper type of hand saw for the material to be cut or type of cut to be made.
When hand-held or quick cut concrete or masonry saws are used, potentially violent kickback, push-back or pull-in forces can occur suddenly and be difficult to control. The use of these saws without proper care has the potential to cause serious or fatal injury, especially when cutting or chasing.
