Identifying Pinch Point Hazards
Pinch points are some of the most common—and dangerous—hazards in the workplace. A pinch point is any spot where a worker's body part, often a hand or finger, can get caught between two moving parts. Or, between a moving part and a stationary object. Review Pinch Point Safety Essentials at SafeWork Insider for more info.
Think about gears, rollers, or even a closing door. If it can trap and crush, it’s a pinch point. According to Safety International, these hazards lead to anything from bruises and cuts to serious injuries like broken bones and even amputations. Recognizing pinch point locations and clearly identifying them are critical steps to protect your team. Check these Pinch Point Safety Tips.
