  • Nearly had to fill out the incident book, mixing a big bucket of self level for my bathroom floor but using the bathroom fitters drill which had a very on/off trigger so hard to keep an even speed (all the settings worn off the chuck) was wearing work gloves and guiding the mixer round the bucket when the hexagonal rod caught in the glove between thumb and forefinger, i flinched but pulled the trigger instead of letting go!? now have a sprained base of thumb which is annoying and will probably ache tomorrow.
    Stay safe people.

  • The health and safety lecturers favourite subject - machinery and gloves. Probably just surpassed by machinery and finger rings.

  • This is one reason I dont wear gloves, that could have been a lot worse. Lucky it wasn't.
