PSC Hand Safety India- No Touch Hand Safety Tools

What is the Hands-Free Safety ?

Hands-free safety tools are engineered devices, tools, or systems that eliminate direct hand contact with loads, moving equipment, or hazardous objects during lifting, rigging, manual handling, and industrial operations.

Hand Injury Statistics

• Hands and fingers represent 30–40% of rigging injuries worldwide.

• OSHA reports that over 50% of industrial hand injuries occur during direct handling of moving loads.

• Manual handling and poor ergonomics cause a large portion of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and back injuries

Typical Hand Injury Mechanisms

From HSE incident investigations, most hand injuries occur due to:

• Pinch points (between load and structure)

• Crush injuries during landing loads

• Struck-by swinging loads

• Snapback of tensioned slings or ropes

• Cuts and lacerations during manual guiding

• Burns or chemical contact

• Ergonomic overexertion and fatigue

What Are Hands-Free Safety Tools?

Hands-free safety tools are physical engineering devices that allow control, guiding, positioning, or retrieval without touching the hazard.

HSE Philosophy Behind Hands-Free Tools

Hierarchy of Controls Alignment

Hands-free tools are part of:

1️⃣ Engineering Controls
2️⃣ Administrative Controls
3️⃣ PPE (last line of defense)

Behavioral Safety

Hands-free safety is also a behavioral culture mindset:

• “Do not touch suspended loads.”

• “Stay out of the line of fire.”

• “Control loads remotely.”

Ergonomic Risk Reduction

• Poor lifting causes ~40% of workplace back injuries.

• Ergonomic tools reduce exertion and musculoskeletal load significantly.

Hands-free tools:

• Reduce awkward postures

• Minimize force exertion

• Reduce fatigue

• Improve productivity

Musculoskeletal Disorder (MSD) Prevention

Manual handling is a major cause of:

• Back pain

• Shoulder injuries

• Wrist injuries

• Tendonitis

• Chronic fatigue

Hands-free tools reduce cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs)

Regulatory & Standards Support

Hands-free safety tools align with global safety standards:

• OSHA 1910 (US)

• ISO 45001 Occupational Health & Safety

• API RP 54 (Oil & Gas)

• IOGP lifting guidelines

• NIOSH ergonomic recommendations

Safety Benefits

• Prevents pinch & crush injuries

• Eliminates hand contact with suspended loads

• Reduces struck-by incidents

• Keeps workers out of danger zones

Operational Benefits

• Faster load positioning

• Better control of swinging loads

• Reduced downtime

• Fewer lost time injuries (LTI)

Financial Benefits

• Lower medical costs

• Reduced insurance premiums

• Less litigation and compensation claims

• Improved safety KPIs and audits

Hands-Free Safety Tools vs PPE

PPE :

• Last line of defense

• Reduces injury severity

• Depends on worker behavior

Hands-Free Tools :

• Engineering control

• Prevents injury exposure

• Physical hazard elimination

Hands-Free Safety Culture Implementation

1️⃣ Policy: “No Touch Suspended Loads”

2️⃣ Engineering: Provide push-pull tools, taglines

3️⃣ Training: Rigging & lifting training

4️⃣ Behavior: Toolbox talks & observation programs

5️⃣ Audit: Safety inspections & KPI tracking

Real-World HSE Incident Lessons Learned

Common root causes found in investigations:

• Workers guiding loads by hand

• No tagline used

• Lack of push/pull tools

• Production pressure

• Poor training

• Unsafe shortcuts

Future Trends in Hands-Free Safety

Modern research is moving toward:

• Smart wearable sensors for lifting posture

• AI posture monitoring systems

• Robotic material handling

• Exoskeletons

• Automated lifting devices
