Editor's Notes
- There are many ways to keep your hands out of harms way. Lets discuss the at-risk behaviors that some exhibit while working on site. Many will use tools for uses other than those recommended by the manufacturer who designed them. For example, using an unguarded utility knife to cut weatherproofing places the employee at greater risk of a laceration to the hand or puncture to the arm or cut thick material by hammering a safety cutter through it. It is also important that you never modify your safety cutter in any way. This can result in a serious malfunction of the tool.
- This slide will run automatically when slide is clicked onto this one is an attention grabber and shock tactics do work extremely well. When the main text is showing click on the space bar to start the injuries sequence. This slide needs to be linked to the finger injuries campaign run last year.it is important to explain to the crews that most tool injuries are to hands and fingers (this is why they are called HAND tools) Please be sure to warn them that there are some graphic pictures on this slide
- The first slide is a man using a punch, the incorrect and better pictures will be displayed. Look at the incorrect picture and get class feed back as to the hazards. When this is complete click the mouse and the next slide will appear. There is a total of 4 slides to look at give some emphasis to the man using the drill as he already has a sticky plaster on his finger from doing it wrong before. When all the 4 slides are finished, click mouse-space-or direction arrow to get the bottom line come up. Get crew to give you the answer (by using the stop system).then click on mouse again and the stop sign emphasis on the stop system needs to be given here. Some slides have additional pointers with regard to pinch points and tool direction arrows the better slides are not perfect as you can see more hazards in the back ground this could also be pointed out as an exercise by getting crews to give the correct practice.
- This is the final slide and should be read through with some conviction especially emphasizing the stop section Always remember that without hand tools we cannot perform the tasks we do BUT tools can be dangerous so beware! Ask the question how many times have you used tools and pinched your fingers at work or at home?.
