Did they not give you fucking gloves?

[–] addictedtochaos@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (5 children)

dont ever wear gloves when working with rotating or moving saws. the gloves will force your hand into the saw.

i am a regular guest on a clinic ward that specializes in hand surgery. people with severed fingers or half of a hand missing always tell me the same story: the glove forced my hand into the sawblade.

Hi, I'm, among other things, an industrial safety guy.

It's understandable not to know this, but I'm industry there's a standard practice of locking out equipment that's being maintained. Either by physically placing a lock on the power box or by simply putting the plug to the device in your pocket for smaller equipment. And then ensuring that all the energy in the equipment has been exhausted and that the machine cannot be started.

This is the subject of one of many annual trainings for everyone in any given facility.

When changing blades or cleaning equipment, it would be standard that it's locked out during this process. So wearing gloves and presumably arm guards to protect against laceration when working with blades would be not only acceptable but I imagine expected.

Most of us have seen the "lathe video." We know.

Thanks for the insight in your profession. Yes, all what you said makes total sense. still, you don't want to have a standart work glove when dealing with moving blades, in germany that's also forbidden by security laws, out of the rasons I mentioned, maimed hands and so on. I must have met at least 8 - 10 people. but, yea, its a hand surgery facility.
