Be Careful Of Your Hands

For the third consecutive week we experienced a recordable injury (TRI).  On this occasion a contract haulier suffered a medical treatment injury when he crushed his finger as he lowered the sideboards on his concrete products trailer, resulting in a fracture.

Hands and fingers are the area of the body most commonly injured; everyone is encouraged to think whether modifications to work methods/equipment can be made in the workplace to reduce this risk.
