Paper Shredder Accident
Accidents can occurs everywhere, even at the office.
Be aware and be cautious when performing any job – even
simple tasks like shredding paper.
Never try to clean or dislodge paper jams whilst a shredder
is still running or energized. Always de-energize the machine (unplug it,
etc) before attempting any maintenance, cleaning or paper retrieval
activities.
Even if de-energized still ensure to keep any body parts
well clear of any sharp edges or nip points.
If there’s any doubt or uncertainty in successfully
executing any of the above mentioned tasks, refer the task to the
maintenance department.
