Preventing Jewellery-Related Acc

We’ve all heard the old sayings: “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”, “A stitch in time saves nine” or “Better safe than sorry.”

These are all wise words to live by that have stood the test of time. Safety, in many cases, should be plain common sense.

Today women and men of all ages are wearing more and more jewellery (bling-bling).

From the traditional watch, precious wedding or engagement ring (s), bracelet (s), necklace (s) to the trendy body piercing to "beautify" the nose, tongue, lip/cheek, belly button, navel and "other" body parts. Not to mention, complications to "No Jewellery Policies" where Medical Alert Identification bracelets and necklaces are a concern in the workplace.

Harmful and even, at times life threatening, jewellery-related accidents and injuries can happen when dangling neckwear, jewellery, body piercing or other similar items worn in the workplace comes into contact with objects or gets caught\stuck against equipment and moving parts of machinery.

Hand lacerations, crushed and broken fingers, ear scars from headwear, arm injuries are typical jewellery caused injuries accounting for dozens to hundreds of lost-time claims per year.

Check your workplace's likelihood to jewellery-related injuries.
