10 level index
June 1st 2009 A new Safety Index for hand held
knives and cutters in the workplace
was unveiled by Martor at the
recent Safety & Health Expo.
The 10 level index is based on
the inherent safety features
of individual tools or
equipment, in which 1 is
the safest and 10 the
least safe.
It is one part of a comprehensive
programme to provide a quantified
assessment of knife use in the
workplace. In addition to
quantifying the risk of
accidents to people, the
programme also measures
the efficiency and ease
of cutting operations,
plus the level of any
damage to
products and
materials. More articles from Martor UK Ltd: |
