Finger Protection

DOOR SAFE

DOOR DANGER

A gust of wind, a thoughtless moment, a playtime prank – whatever the cause government figures show that:

over 30,000 children are injured every year by trapping fingers in doors
more than 1,500 subsequently needed some form of surgical treatment

Obviously nobody would want a child in your care or visiting your premises to suffer such an accident, but also under current Health and Safety legislation it is possible to be fined up to £20,000 if practical measures were not taken to prevent such accidents.

The dangers associated with finger entrapment affect not just young children in schools and nurseries, the elderly and disabled are also particularly vulnerable. Furthermore, any person in a public or commercial place could potentially be a victim of door related accidents.

“How can these accidents be prevented?”

Fortunately, there is an affordable solution that can completely eliminate the risk of serious finger injury. Good quality finger protection devices are simple yet robust and prevent fingers from entering the full length of the dangerous gap along the hinged side of a door.

In addition to schools and nurseries, several major restaurant chains including McDonalds and national supermarkets such as Tesco are investing in Health and Safety to ensure that their doors pose a minimal hazard to customers. Apart from their duty of care, many now realise that the low cost of installing ‘finger guard’ products outweighs the cost of Personal Injury claims that often follow such accidents. Other establishments choosing to protect themselves and the people for whom they are responsible include:

child minder premises
public buildings / visitor centres
care and nursing homes
hospitals / surgeries
department stores / supermarkets
restaurants / fast food chains
tourist attractions
stations & airports
hotels
