Observe the complete task
Review setup, lifting, positioning, landing, adjustment, retrieval and completion. A photograph can identify a starting point; the full sequence explains why the hand enters.
Find The Hand™
Industrial Hand-Exposure Identification
Look at the entire task cycle. Identify what each hand does and what energy or movement could reach it.
Name the hand’s function
Record whether hands are guiding, holding, aligning, positioning, steadying, retrieving, pushing or pulling. The required function shapes the engineering response.
Describe the exposure
Examine pinch and crush interfaces, impact paths, sharp edges, rotation, changing clearances and unexpected movement. Record proximity, duration, frequency and variability.
Build an observation record
Capture the task, hand function, energy, operating conditions and existing controls. Use the record to prioritise review and verify any proposed change.
