Many engineers and musicians may have to handle musical equipment.
one case we just came accross was a musician installing a keyboard onto a scissor type stand.
the musician was attempting to adjust the stand with the keyboard on it already.He attempted to adjust the stand with his elbow holding the keyboard up and his hand with a complete grip around the square tube frame.When he pulled the pin from the adjusting holes the stand came down.The action of coming down because he could'nt hold the keyboard up because it was too heavy.The stand became like scissors and amputated one finger(pointing on the left hand) and broke two fingers.Like I said he had a complete hand around the framing of the stand.This musician was a keyboard and guitar player.Lucky for him the surgeon sewed his finger back on and it took him 6 mths to recover.
What I'm getting at what seems to be a regular task can be unforgiving if one does not pay attention to what he/she is doing.
read those manuals and be careful espescially when you buy something new.In this case the keyboard was the first time it was installed on this stand. |

• reporting of accidents
•
This topic has some importance in the work force.In Canada young people will have accidents due to inexperience or were shown how todo work the wrong way or by looking at someone doing it.
Hopefully if you happen to have one it wont be serious!
The reason you report an accident to your employer is that they can investigate so it does'nt happen again to anyone and also it protects you the worker.If you dont report injuries then the employer and it turns out that you may need med.attention or even worse miss work because of it they can contest the claim because you now have a late report.If you report it late a lot of information in the investigation you may not remember(who,what where,when and why's).The employer may at that point say it did'nt happen at work and you won't get your proper benifits.really the main reason is that it does'nt happen again
if for some reason you develop complications later ,because you reported you now have documentation of the injury.
I hope this helps in some way explaining the reason for this topic
