Hand and finger injuries continue to be a significant theme in the incidents shared with IMCA by its members. This is a summary of one such incident.
What happened
When removing the ceiling plates in the main deck instrument room, a worker cut his hand on a ceiling plate, which had sharp edges. The worker was not wearing gloves – as should have been the case. Wearing gloves would have prevented the injury.
Lessons
- Watch where you put your hands! It’s so easy just to do it – DON’T! STOP and THINK;
- PPE is there for a reason – use it. Gloves you can replace: fingers and hands, you can’t.
