PINCH POINTS & HAND PROTECTION

Prevention Of Workplace Hand Injuries Using Push Pull Tools

A pinch point is commonly defined as any point where it is possible for a body part to be caught between moving and stationary plant or equipment. Pinch points are found in many places throughout a workplace.

Work tasks such as equipment maintenance, lifting materials, guiding loads, assembly line work and hoisting or hooking up trailers are just a few common tasks where pinch points are a common hazard.

The physical forces applied to the hand caught in a pinch point can vary and cause injuries ranging from bruises, cuts, fractures and scalping to mangled and amputated body parts, and even death.

Safety tools, such as the ShoveIt Hand Safety Tool, substantially reduces hand and finger injuries by avoiding pinch points and other hand related safety issues while working with suspended loads and materials handling on job sites. This mitigation measure, some may say “finger-saver”, safeguards employees by minimising hand and finger injuries – this proactive control measure protects against unnecessary workplace hazards. Gloves can limit severity but not remove risk.
