Hand Safety Awareness At A B Equipment, we prioritise the safety and well-being of our team members—especially our dedicated Field Service Technicians, Boilermakers, Metal Fabricators, and Electricians. According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, over 20,880 Australians were hospitalised due to injuries from sharp objects in 2021 and 2022. These incidents can occur both on the job and at home, often caused by: ⚠️ Sharp edges on tools and equipment ⚠️ Hands in dangerous areas with stored energy or low visibility ⚠️ Use of unapproved knives or box cutters ⚠️ Crush zones lacking proper isolation ⚠️ Hot work or chemical handling Hand injuries can lead to serious consequences, including lacerations, fractures, and even amputations.
