Find the hand
Observe the complete task, including setup, adjustment and retrieval.
Find The Hand™
Recognise the exposure.
Understand the task.
If these exposures look familiar in your operation, ask PSC to run a Find The Hand webinar for your team.
The human hand is not a tool™
Hands guide, steady, hold, align and retrieve. Find The Hand™ starts by examining why the hand enters the task and what could move, close, shift, drop or strike while it is there.
The webinar helps safety, production, maintenance and operations teams recognise these events in their own work. Product selection follows the application review.
Ask why
Identify the function: guiding, holding, aligning, steadying or positioning.
Identify exposure
Review movement, energy, pinch points and closing clearances.
Review the interface
Explore ways to change the task or perform the function from outside the exposure zone.
The Last 300 mm Rule™
Examine the final positioning phase, when clearances close and hands may return to the task. “300 mm” names this phase; it is not a universal safe stand-off distance. The actual transition depends on the task geometry and energy.
For your team
Request a
Find The Hand™ webinar.
Tell us your industry, audience and preferred timing. Include the operations you want the session to focus on.
- Start with familiar hand-exposure examples.
- Learn to examine why hands enter the task.
- Discuss your team’s applications and next steps.
PSC will confirm the session format and timing with you.
From recognition to implementation.
Industrial Hand-Exposure Identification
Look at the entire task cycle. Identify what each hand does and what energy or movement could reach it.
