Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequent questions and answers
What is the FingerSaver Tool, and how does it protect workers from hand and finger injuries?
The FingerSaver Tool is an innovative safety device designed to protect workers’ hands and fingers from injuries caused by pinch and crush points, as well as from hammer impacts, cuts, and other hazards. It is particularly useful when performing tasks like flogging or hammering, where the hands are vulnerable to being struck or caught. The tool keeps workers’ hands at a safe distance from dangerous areas, significantly reducing the risk of injuries to sensitive body parts like fingers. Available in three sizes (295 mm, 375 mm, 850 mm), the FingerSaver ensures safety while enhancing productivity by preventing costly downtime due to injuries.
Why are finger injuries such a common issue in the workplace, and how does the FingerSaver Tool address this?
Finger injuries account for over 21% of total body part injuries in occupational settings, with many of these injuries being caused by pinch and crush points. These injuries often occur when workers’ hands are too close to heavy equipment, moving machinery, or materials that could cause harm. The FingerSaver Tool addresses this by offering a hands-free solution that keeps workers’ hands away from the point of impact or danger, especially in high-risk activities like hammering and flogging. By maintaining a safe distance, the FingerSaver helps mitigate the most common causes of finger injuries, reducing the number of workplace accidents and improving overall safety.
How does the FingerSaver Tool improve workplace productivity?
The FingerSaver Tool not only enhances safety but also boosts workplace productivity. By reducing the frequency of finger and hand injuries, workers can focus more on their tasks without the fear of injury, leading to fewer work stoppages and less downtime. With fewer accidents and injuries, employers experience a reduction in workers’ compensation claims and medical costs. Furthermore, when workers are equipped with proper safety tools like the FingerSaver, they are more confident and efficient in their tasks, resulting in an overall improvement in production or service line performance.
What are the different sizes of the FingerSaver Tool, and how do I choose the right one for my workplace?
The FingerSaver Tool comes in three different sizes: 295 mm, 375 mm, and 850 mm. The right size for your workplace depends on the specific tasks and the equipment you’re working with. The smaller sizes (295 mm and 375 mm) are suitable for precision tasks or situations where a closer grip is required. The larger size (850 mm) is ideal for tasks involving larger or more heavy-duty equipment where a longer reach is necessary to keep hands and fingers safely away from impact zones. Safety engineers can help assess your specific needs and select the appropriate size for your operations.
