No so, because they must be extremely sharp to do their job, utility knives are also extremely dangerous if not handled and stored properly. MEETING PREPARATION: Bring a utility knife to the meeting for demonstration purposes. Read the SSG procedure, understand the contents, and ensure compliance. Review the employee handout to see if there are any other materials you wish to bring to the meeting. Use a flip chart during the discussion to write key points and employee responses. This technique visually reinforces your instruction. MATERIALS CHECKLIST: Utility Knife Flip chart and marking pens MEETING INTRODUCTION (Hold up the sample that you brought to the meeting) The utility knife, also known as a finger cutter, a common and useful tool, but hardly much of a safety hazard, right? No so, because they must be extremely sharp to do their job, utility knives are also extremely dangerous if not handled and store properly. Question: What’s the appropriate blade for the job? Answer: That depends on what the employees are cutting – cardboard, plastic, wood, etc. Choose the right blade for the job. Utility knives come in many different shapes and forms, each designed for a specific purpose. Selecting the correct blade for the job is essential to ensure that they job can be completed correctly and safely. Page 1 WEEKLY SAFETY MEETING UTILITY KNIFE SAFETY Leaders Guide Use the utility knife that you brought to the meeting to show the group the type of blade that you have is an example. Question: What type of edge is best for the purpose? Answer: Fine-edged blades produce a smooth, clean cut. Serrated blades are better for cutting cardboard cartons and similar packing materials. Question: What ergonomic question should be asked when using utility knives? Answer: Is the handle large enough to provide a secure grip? This prevents the hand from slipping forward over the blade and reduces the force required to hold the knife, which helps prevent musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Question: What are the key safety items related to utility knives? Answer: Pay attention while cutting, and store knives safely! To prevent accidents, emphasize these safe work practices: • Always cut in a motion away from the body and away from other people. This way, if the knife slips, it won’t cut you or a person standing next to you. • Keep the other hand, fingers, and thumbs out of the way when cutting. If you must grip the object you are cutting, cut away from your hand. • Stay focused on the cutting job. It only takes a second of inattention with a sharp blade to produce a serious cut. Letting the mind wander or talking with others while using a knife greatly increases the risk of an accident and injury. If you are interrupted while working with a utility knife, stop cutting, retract the blade, and place the knife down on a secure surface before dealing with the interruption. Never continue cutting while distracted! Page 2 WEEKLY SAFETY MEETING UTILITY KNIFE SAFETY Leaders Guide • Store utility knives safely. Retract the blade or sheath an open blade before storing. Never, ever, leave a knife with the blade exposed on the floor, on a pallet, on a work surface, or in a drawer or cabinet. SUMMARY: As many as one-third of all manual tool injuries have been attributed to utility knives like box cutters. Because blades need to be sharp to work effectively, they can also deliver dangerous cuts. It only takes a moment of inattention for a blade to slip and an employee to be injured. Co-workers can be injured, too. Never leave a knife lying around with an open blade. Thank you for your attention today regarding utility knives. EMPLOYEE HANDOUT A. Employee Handout Page 3 WEEKLY SAFETY MEETING UTILITY KNIFE SAFETY Employee Handout There's one hand tool that demands your respect over many others in the workplace, a tool that can cut you to the bone in an instant. Meet Mr. Sharp, the utility knife. Many workers use utility knives to cut strapping, puncture shrink-wrap and open packaging. But one wrong move and these retractable blades can do serious harm. In fact, nearly 40 percent of all injuries attributed to manual workshop tools in the US involve knives with retractable blades. Many accidents involving utility knives occur for the following reasons: • Drawing the knife towards you instead of away from your body. • Working with a dull blade. (Dull blades require more pressure, increasing the potential for injury.) • Trying to cut more than the knife can handle. • Improperly storing the knife with the blade extended. • Failing to wear personal protective equipment. • Neglecting to inspect the tool before use. There have been cases where workers have suffered injuries from exposed blade tips. This is because the blades did not completely retract into the handle. That's why it's important for workers to use the proper size blades or replace defective retraction mechanisms. SSG requires self-retracting utility knives – the blade automatically retracts into the handle when not in use. Problems also arise when some employees don't have or can't find a utility knife supplied by the company. As a result, they tend to use whatever is handy, such as a pocket knife or other tool with a sharp edge. This can quickly turn hazardous if the tool slips or is used incorrectly. The following are safety precautions to keep in mind when using utility knives: • Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes in case a blade breaks. • Always use a sharp blade. • Wear metal mesh gloves to protect your hands. • Hand a utility knife to a co-worker with the handle first. • Consider using self-retracting blades. • Ensure the blades are properly positioned in the handle before use. • Keep extremities out of the cutting path. • Don't apply too much pressure on the blade. • Follow manufacturer’s instructions when changing blades. • Don't use utility knives to pry loose objects. • Dispose of dull or broken blades in a puncture-resistant container. Utility knives are extremely handy on the job, but they can also be handy in causing serious injuries.

    COLTELLERIE BERTI How to choose Knives Upstream and downstream of good cooking there is always a good knife. Every day we use many objects without knowing their intimate nature and without knowing which phenomena and undisputable physical laws determine their operation and usefulness for us .However, understanding such matters is impossible, considering the vast amount of knowledge it would require. These few pages, which make no claim to covering everything, will give you the opportunity of getting to know something more about knife making so you can use your knives better and get more satisfaction out of them. Handmade. Made in Italy. Choosing a knife for home. How to choose Is it normal to use saw blades to cut food other than bread, focaccia and products out of the oven? Is it really parsimonious to spend less for a knife that cuts badly and that you later have to throw away? Is it really an idea of the past to have high quality blades sharpened ever now and then, so you can still count on an excellent cutting tool through time? Is it a luxury to cut meat at the table with a hand made, smooth-bladed knife having a handle made of horn? We think not. This is why we feel it our duty to illustrate the essential cutting requirements with good knives, to all those who want to choose a knife set from our Collections. You can choose among preparation, serving and table knives with: Stainless steel blades with a high degree of carbon to ensure a long lasting cut.

Between 1990 and 2008, 47% of all knife injuries (1,169,960 injuries), were related to utility knives. Utility knifes are very sharp due to the blade being a razor.

  • Cutting Edge Safety Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Lessons Learned LL-2003-02
    Cutting Edge Safety Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Lessons Learned LL-2003-02 Concern Statement: Each year, Lab employees suffer a fair number of cuts from improper use of knives and razor blades. Many of these cuts are minor, but several require sutures or result in partial amputations, neurological damage or severed tendons. The damage cannot always be reversed entirely, and these cases tend to be rather expensive. Applicable to: Researchers and staff who work with razor blades and utility knives. Here are a few ideas to consider if you use knives or razor blades in your work. 1. Don’t use razor blades where you could do a better job with a scalpel or an X-ACTO knife. You will have better control with a scalpel or an X-ACTO knife, and the cost is not that great. The disposable scalpel shown below starts at $1.10, and replacement blades start at $0.35. One doctor visit saved will pay for a lifetime of blades. 2. If you must use razor blades, use them in a holder. Razor blade holders are available from any hardware or paint store for a dollar or two. A blade in a holder can be controlled with greater accuracy and with less risk of injury. 3. Put used blades away safely Protect your custodial staff and dispose of used blades in sharps containers. Lose blades on lab benches have caused several injuries. Remember to discard and replace the sharps containers before they overflow. Please Post 4. There are lots of choices in utility knives There are lots of choices in utility knives these days.
