• According to the Royal Society for
the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) forty thousand children seriously crush their
fingers in doors every year
• More than 1500 of these children will need
surgery. Sometimes requiring reconstructive surgery.
• The National Health
Service estimates each finger trapping incident they will treat costs the NHS
on average £2500!
Fingershield is a simple device that completely covers the
gap that is created on the hinge side of a door when it is in the open position.
Fingershield totally eliminates painful finger trapping accidents on the hinge
side of a door forever.
Introducing Fingershield
In the opinion
of an acknowledged expert, R.H. McLeod, former Principal Health and Safety Officer
at Manchester City Council, Local Education Authority, there are THREE KEY REASONS
why a School or Nursery should fit Fingershield.
1. I can testify from
my own experience just how painful and distressing such accidents can be.
2.
It is my professional opinion that a high proportion of doors in schools do present
a clearly identifiable risk of a finger trapping accident and this fact should
be so recorded in Schools'/Nurseries' Annual Risk Assessments.
3. Now
that we know such accidents will almost certainly be followed by a Personal Injury
Claim, and the cost of just dealing with this can, in most instances, dwarf the
relatively low cost of Fingershield, it no longer makes any commercial/financial
sense for a School/Nursery to continue to remain exposed to this type of entirely
preventable accident.
