You already know that you must assess the risk to harm of employees, children, and visitors to your building but have you given specific thought to finger trapping in the hinge side of a door? Whilst all doors within a building could present a trapping hazard it has been shown that the most common places for a finger trapping incident are:
• Classroom doors
• Toilet entrance doors
• Toilet cubicle doors
• Entrance / Lobby Doors
• Corridor fire doors
The type of injuries resulting from door incidents range from crushing, bruising and fractures to, at worst, amputation.
Finger guards have been widely used in buildings to prevent injury, particularly for young children.
