| Resumen |
This review was performed by evaluating injuries recorded in the Mine Safety and Health Administration's Safety and Health Technology Center database. It identified the injury-component sequences that were most frequent and those sequences that were most severe as measured by days lost from work. The analysis showed that injuries associated with the scaling bar and jack were responsible for over half of all lost days resulting from hand tool-related injuries. Almost 90% of all lost days due to hand tool-related injuries are accounted for if the bar, hammer/axe, and pneumatic drill are also included. The sequence of injury-component events that results in an increased risk of injury from these tools and the ergonomic changes that may reduce these risks are discussed. |
