Cut by packaging
Recently there has been a cut related incident to a driver. The IP (injured person) was securing a steel coil when he decided to reposition a corner protector he cut his hand on the packaging (steel banding).
Via this email we would like to remind you the packaging of a steel product can be as sharp as the product itself. Recommendations:
• Drivers should be advised at all times to avoid direct contact with the steel product
• Edge protection, where possible should be positioned away from the banding.
• Drivers must cover their arms and legs when securing steel product
• We would strongly recommend to wear cut resistant gloves for your own protection.
Always perform your Last Minute Risk Assessment
