David, you certainly need to add some specifics on the use of tools. I still have a welt on my right index finger from not holding a trowel properly and that's three weeks later. It doesn't bother me as small injuries to the hands are something that comes with my job but if it was somebody who wasn't used to manual work I would imagine they could be quite painful.
Probably best to make sure the correct use of mattocks is well covered. If it looks like a pick to a lay person then they will probably use it like one.
It may be worth mentioning that archaeology on TV and actually doing it are completely different entities.
