• Always use safer alternatives to knives where ever possible e.g. snips.
• Never put your hand underneath what you intend to cut.
• Supervisors need to ensure anyone using a knife has the right tool for the task and
understands correct cutting techniques.
• Gloves should be appropriate for cutting tasks – not general purpose.
• If in doubt speak to your supervisor. Don’t take a chance and think this won’t happen
to you.
Being safe depends on the choices we make everyday. The right choices can save lives. We want to
share safety information and help to raise industry awareness. Safety is not about getting one over on
the competition. We need to talk openly, share what we know and make the right choices.
