Hand tools are also risky

Waterfalls of objects manipulation, tread on objects, blows and cuts, instant, contacts terms are the most common causes of low. And most common you are attributing the fault to objects as limes, hooks, hammers, screwdrivers, arrancaclavos or scissors, to name a few of the best known. How to avoid these accidents? The first step focuses on detecting the kind of tool that is going to be handled: percussion tools and press or manual cutting tools.

In the case of the percussion, coups and the projection of particles are the first in the list with regard to risks. In shock, it can cause with the tool itself while using a hammer or Mallet, or because it fails the own tool and causes the imbalance of the operator (slots for destornillados desbocada, weak keys mouths of torque)(, slots for run-away screwdrivers...).

To prevent these dangers, Ibermuatuamur advised, inter alia, to acquire hammers that correspond to the work that is going to do, as for example "a hammer of Carpenter" to put nails. Also, calls to change handles (to be non-slip rubber) and choose an object whose front is larger than the head of the chisel or cortafríos. With this "avoids the possibility of that was skip of the surface and it distributes the force of the blow on a larger surface," they claim from the mutual. Another point to remember is to replace the punches, chisels and wedges whose head already acquired mushroom use. They also warn of lever should not be done to increase the force since that could lead to the breakdown of the key.

In this regard, the experts suggest using tools that have a lettering on the site where the road enters mango, that protects the hand when the worker force down. In addition, remember that the keys to open end are not designed for work requiring great force. "For these efforts it is better to use keys of glass or tube." "Are stronger and less prone to open on the nuts", they suggest.

However, not all are blows to percussion tools. The projection of particles also entails risks. Thus, the first step is to replace the hallmarks, cortafríos or wedges whose heads have burrs. In order to avoid them, the mutual advised to do in the heads of the punches a slightly decreasing light section to the stricken area.

Also, there forget used glasses or protective screens for both itself and for the rest of workers, especially in those tasks that involve removing rivets, or chop metal and concrete.

So far as to hand tools of cuts, the hands are more likely members to suffer the consequences of a bad practice or the poor condition of the material. The Council regular protect the sharp leaves and, at the same time, sharpen them to minimize efforts on the Court, joined others which may seem obvious as correctly take the link for the mango (with the hand that uses the mesh glove) while it sharpens, or work with his fists in a straight position and with the elbows close to the body.

With an emphasis on mangoes, is recommended that these do not leave grooves in the Palm of the hand of their users, so must have the rounded surface to make the hand not force on sharp edges or corners. In addition, experts are encouraged to choose tools that can be used both by people who work with the right with the left hand.
