2015 - Lateral Learning LL51 - LTI#42 - Fractured Thumb
During rigging up, an assistant was opening the flange bolts using a wrench and hammer inside the cellar. While hammering with right hand he was holding the wrench with left hand. After hammering a couple of times, the assistant’s right leg slipped on the uneven sands and as a result he lost balance causing the hammer to deviate and hit his left thumb resulting in a fractured thumb.
Ensure a finger saver tool is available and used. Ensure impact gloves are used to reduce the effect of such injuries. If the tools/equipments are not suitable for the job, STOP and conduct a risk assessment. Stay out of the “Line of Fire”
