Box Cutter Seller Stresses the Importance of Workplace Safety Training
Jan 24, 2017
Over 1,000,000 workers are taken to the emergency room every year as a result of laceration injuries. But adhering to safety measure could drastically reduce those numbers.
Denver, CO, United States - January 24, 2017 /PressCable/ —
According to OSHA, the direct and indirect costs of laceration injuries in the workplace total more than $36,000 per incident. Most of these injuries involved upper body parts such as fingers, hands and arms, and many of them occur when workers use box cutters.
And considering that over 1,000,000 workers are sent to the emergency room every year as a result of laceration injuries, that means employers are forking over a lot of cash just to pay for the emergency medical care, worker’s compensation, and loss of productivity.
“Many workers use utility knife box cutters to do things like open boxes, cut plastic and cables, unpack deliveries and trim and slice heavy materials,” says a spokesman from MJH Innovations, an online retailer that sells heavy duty box cutters. “And if those workers aren’t properly trained in box cutter safety, the employer could incur massive costs in health care expenses.”
The spokesman emphasizes the importance of providing safety training to any employee who uses a box cutter in the course of their job. “For example,” he says, “Workers should always cut with the blade going away from their body, never hand off a box cutter with the blade first, and always use a sharp blade. If employees follow just these simple rules, injuries will be drastically reduced.”
Workers should exercise extreme caution when using box cutters on the job, but it’s the employer’s responsibility to educate and train their employees about how to best use the blades safely. That makes it a win win situation for everyone involved.
