Hand Injury

Please see enclosed a safety alert regarding a hand injury that was shared with us by BP.

Although we have thankfully had very few injuries, 47% of all the injuries we have recorded are hand /
finger injuries. This is one of the reasons we insist gloves are worn at all times when on site, and our
systems clearly document the standard of glove needed for each specific step on each task.

The latest HSE statistics show that 17,521 reportable hand / finger / wrist injuries occurred in 2016/17.

If you are unclear on the company’s glove requirements, or need additional gloves, contact your line
manager.

We are all a product of learning. Every skill we have; everything we know; everything we believe and everything we do has
been learned throughout the course of our lives. Some of us learn best by studying graphs and charts, some through visual
presentations, and some by reading detailed text books. It is important that we receive information in a format that works for
us as individuals! That’s why at Xmo Strata we use a variety of communication platforms such as bulletins, newsletters,
videos etc. However, if you feel there is a better way for us to share health and safety information, please let us know.
Ultimately, your safety is in your hands – but we will do all we can to keep you well informed!
