CONTEXT:

Take a moment to scan for hand
and finger hazards

as you move about your workplace.

Look out for the actions
of moving machines

and various material handling operations
which move materials past solid objects.

These types of hand hazards
are commonly called "nip points"

and are particularly dangerous.

A "nip point" is any place
where a body part will fit

between a moving object
and a fixed surface

or between two moving solid objects.
