This document discusses the importance of properly caring for minor injuries from nails or other sharp objects. While small wounds may seem unimportant, they can become infected and lead to more serious problems if not treated. Any puncture wound, particularly from a nail, poses a danger as bacteria can be driven deep into the body. To prevent such injuries, workers should make a habit of removing any protruding nails or sharp edges from materials at their worksite.

1. CARE WITH NAILS

2. When we talk about
someone who has
suffered an injury,
we usually think
something really
serious-a fractured
skull, a broken leg
or a lot of blood
loss.

3. No scratches
or consider
splints, eye
dust and other
small little
things that
cause us pain
or discomfort,
but we do not
stay in bed.

5. We tend to believe that if we do not hurt
much, is that these "tiny" lesions should
not be very important ...
But the novelty is sometimes a minor
injury becomes a major injury, such as
when it prevents us from going to work,
or sent to a hospital bed.

6. Occasionally, very small lesions,
untreated, have been the cause that
some have ended up in a coffin.
The fact is to consider these minor
injuries within the limits of what is
important depends on the person
who is injured, whether you have a
splint on his finger or have an
abrasion or bruise.

7. Any sharp
wound, that is,
a sharp and
deep wounds
caused by a
sharp object, is
dangerous.

8. It is generally more dangerous
than a scratch or cut produced by
the same instrument because the
bacteria are introduced deep into
the body and the wound can not
be completely cleaned by
administering first aid by the
individual.

9. Consequently, if they suffer a
puncture wound, not underestimate
nor delay in obtaining appropriate
first aid. Forthwith attend a doctor or
nurse to receive and return your
attention until the wound has healed
completely. If you notice redness,
swelling or increased pain consult a
doctor immediately.

11. In any workplace there are many
exposures to sharp and pointed
objects, but the nails represent the
greatest danger. Whenever a
stretcher is required to stack our
products, a wooden box disarming
or some wooden structure is
repaired, for example, protruding
nails stay on the wooden planks.

12. Unless cleaned immediately planks,
the protruding nails represent a real
threat. There are also times when a
union cap or timber are loosened
by a blow, fall into a secluded place
and is put into oblivion until a key
nail in the foot of a person.

14. But not only your feet are exposed to
the risk of puncture wounds. This type
of injury can occur in almost all body
parts: hands, arms, legs, face, back
and even the stomach. But as we said
recently, not all puncture wounds are
caused by protruding nails.

16. You should be cautious with all
these materials for their own
protection. Well must do more: to
ensure that the work is much safer
for everyone. Acquire the habit of
folding or removing protruding nails
all to see.

17. Fold rod inside the entire tie wire
tip to find. Trim or bend the jagged
ends of boards damaged. In short
try to remove all sources of
puncture wound to observe it
anywhere.
