Program:  KAEFER SAFE Hands campaign

Hand injuries remain a significant issue for worksites, however it can sometimes be hard not to take our hands for granted. Yet the instant our ability to use our hands is taken from us, we become acutely aware of how much we need them. This is what KAEFER Integrated Services (KAEFER) team members experienced as part of our “SAFE Hands” campaign.

SAFE Hands is a multi-faceted campaign targeted at raising awareness and reducing incidents of hand injuries. The flagship initiative was “Helping Hands”, where teams worked collaboratively to build prosthetic hands while being unable to use their dominant hand. This exposed team members to what life would be like with a severe hand injury.

SAFE Hands was a major success for our South Australian operations, with hand-related incidents reduced by 100% over the campaign and further social benefits provided through donating prosthetic hands to individuals in developing countries.
