Safe Hand and Wrist Movements

Table of Contents


Overview

Try to avoid hand and wrist movements that can cause pain and other symptoms.

If you suspect that your hand or wrist pain is work-related, you may need to talk with your workplace safety officer about changes in equipment or rotating some of your duties. Make sure that new work changes don't cause other wrist problems or make your condition worse.
