Here are two easy tips to help you avoid hand/wrist pain:
- Practice using your mouse with both your left and right hands. Switching between hands can help you avoid overworking hand and wrist muscles.
- Use wrist rests when operating keyboards and mice. Place your entire palm on the wrist rest, rather than just your wrist.

Please print and share this info with your colleagues and/or staff. Beginning each meeting with a safety share is a great way to break the ice, begin team building from the onset of meetings and keep safety at the forefront of our minds.
All employees are encouraged to submit safety shares for inclusion in the Safety Share Library. Submission details are available on Inside Argonne.
Each month a safety share submitted by an individual will be selected to receive a Spot Award for demonstrated safety leadership. The Spot Award program offers three award levels: gold ($100), silver ($50) and bronze ($25).
