Health, Safety & Environmental Bulletin No 212
D Heathorn - 14 October 2010
Safety Knives
Please see enclosed self explanatory safety bulletin and safety alert from Coteba.
In January 2010, we banned the use of fixed blade knives on all Xmo Strata sites.
All Xmo Strata crews have been issued with new self-retracting knives, where the blade
automatically retracts after pressure is released from the blade.
A video of the knife in use has been created and can be viewed at

About Risk
Risk management is a big step towards accident prevention; however, it is dependent on the risk firstly
being identified, then controlled. We need safety awareness to be instinctive and form an integral part
of both our working and home lives; it is this, in turn, that may save the lives of others. Remember: if
shared, risks can be mitigated before they pose a threat.
If you have any queries regarding the Safety Bulletin content or require further information please
contact any staff member of Xmo Strata Ltd.
