Understanding the Need of Hands-Free Safety Tools in the Industry

VISAKHAPATNAM, India - July 8, 2024 - PRLog -- What is Hands-Free Lifting ?

Personnel not touching a suspended load (with any part of the body) that is connected to a mechanical lifting device is Hands‐free lifting. That is any load that is being lifted or before the load is properly set down and all potential energy is released.

Why hands-free lifting ?
Hands injury represent over 50% of all injuries in the workplace. Many injuries can be minimised if not eliminated with the use of safer methods of handling suspended loads and use safer lifting apparatus, work practices and tools. The objective of hands‐free lifting is to eliminate hand and finger injuries by removing them from the energy source – and avoid all caught between, struck‐by and struck‐against incidents. Hands and fingers represent a tool that enables you to do wonderful things with them, and unfortunately there are no spare parts for these if you damage them.
