07.01.2022 REDUCING THE RISK OF HAND ARM VIBRATION INJURIES Workers exposed to ongoing hand and arm vibration through regular use of conventional power tools, can often experience symptoms such as tingling, numbness, pain and weakened grip. In an article published in Safety and Health Magazine, it is explained that prevention is the key Once the worker starts exhibiting symptoms, youve already gone past the point of no return. If employers can become aware of the disease and its deve...lopment, then they can be cognizant of providing warm and dry work environments and seeing about eliminating the need for workers to operate a handheld power tool in the first place. One of the tips for reducing risk includes alternating between vibrating and non-vibrating tools. Were pleased to offer a solution that minimises the torque required to remove nuts, requiring less time with rattle guns and rad guns, therefore reducing exposure to hand arm vibration and laceration injuries.

07.01.2022 PRODUCTIVITY & SAFETY GAINS - A RIO TINTO CASE STUDY Late last year, after significant trials at Rio Tinto's Bell Bay Aluminium refinery, Segnut provided a solution that significantly shortened the change-out downtime of wear plates in the graphite paste mixer and improved the overall maintenance productivity. Productivity gains were experienced on two levels. Segnut's patented quick release mechanism, made it possible for seized nuts to be removed instead of the bolts being ...cut out from inside the mixer. Reduced removal time also meant reduced time in confined spaces and reduced need for a safety observer. Being a smelting environment with multiple risks associated with fumes and hot works in the same place, the elimination of these practices in the refinery was a high safety priority for Bell Bay. The success of this trial has seen Segnut being added to the site's inventory management system as a regular supply item for day-to-day operations.
