PDO safety advice Use this Alert: Discuss in Tool Box Talks and HSE Meetings  Distribute to contractors  Post on HSE Notice Boards  Include in site HSE Induction • Date:13/05/2013 • Rigger fractures finger whilst attaching excavator bucket • What happened? • 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. • Your learning: • 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. Remember you need all your hands and fingers, so look after them Contact: MSE54for further information or visit the HSE Website Learning No 17 22/07/2013
