Event details
Cuts caused by blades continue to be a significant contributor to workplace injuries—so much so that “impacts from a moving object” (which includes knife cuts) now ranks third in the HSE's list of most common workplace accidents. The truth is knives and blades have been essential tools in our workspaces for generations. Just try getting through a typical week without using a knife or a pair of scissors—even for the simplest of tasks. It’s nearly impossible, right?
But if knives are here to stay, we must also confront the risks that come with them. Misused or poorly managed blades can result in serious injuries and even damage valuable goods and materials. Many companies respond by increasing PPE requirements—but while PPE is a critical line of defence, it’s not a complete solution. So, what is? How can we reduce injuries, increase productivity, and avoid the hidden costs associated with unsafe knife use?
In this webinar, Thomas Turner and Ian Suggitt will share their proven process for improving workplace knife safety, built on real-world experience across industries like food & beverage, logistics, and manufacturing. They’ll explore what works, share success stories, and offer practical guidance on developing an effective safety knife policy. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions and get tailored advice on your own workplace needs. Join us and take the first step toward making workplace knife injuries a thing of the past.
