Fractured Finger - LTI # 18
Incident: Whilst attempting to change a bucket on an excavator and whilst attempting to line up the holes to allow the securing pin to slot between the arm and bucket, the rigger placed his thumb in the gap between the arm and the buckets frame. As he moved the excavator arm forward with his other hand it caused the gap to close and crushed his thumb resulting in a painful fracture.
Key Learning: Remember you need all your hands and fingers, so look after them
Learnings:Before you start a task, think how you could be injured; Avoid putting your hands and fingers where they can become trapped; If you are not sure how to do a job safely then it is best to stop and ask; Do not become complacent just because you have done the job before; Always ask for help if you can not do the job on your own.
