The purpose of this study was to describe factors of possible importance for the occurrence of hand injury from powered wood splitters.
Patients were identified by a computerized patient registry. Information was obtained from hospital records, a written questionnaire and a structured telephone interview.
Very few splitters were constructed according to European standards. Twenty-one percent of patients injured with wedge splitters thought that having more than one person at the machine was one cause of the accident. Seventy-nine percent of patients injured with screw splitters stated that glove use was one cause of the accident.
The level of safety in wood splitters that cause hand injury is often poor. Having more than one person at the machine during work may contribute to wedge splitter injury. Glove use commonly contributes to screw splitter injury. Prevention should be directed towards unsafe machines and dangerous patterns of use.
本研究旨在描述可能对手动劈木机造成手部伤害产生影响的因素。
通过计算机患者登记系统识别患者。信息来源于医院记录、书面问卷和结构化电话访谈。
符合欧洲标准的劈木机很少。21%被楔式劈木机致伤的患者认为机器旁人数多于一人是导致事故的原因之一。79%被螺杆劈木机致伤的患者认为戴手套是导致事故的原因之一。
导致手部受伤的劈木机的安全水平往往较低。在工作时机器旁人数多于一人可能会导致楔式劈木机受伤。使用手套通常会导致螺杆劈木机受伤。应针对不安全的机器和危险的使用模式进行预防。
