Cut with care this Christmas
05 December 2016
As Christmas draws closer, Arco is encouraging businesses to follow best practice when it comes to safety knives and blade changing. At a time when businesses recruit young and temporary staff to tackle the bustle of festive activity, employers need to ensure untrained workers are safe when using sharp instruments.
Arco says its new range of six new Slice Ceramic bladed Safety Knives reduce the risk of injury as the hand-sharpened blades are safe to handle. Rust-proof, non-conductive and spark-proof, they do not need separate sharps disposal and are suitable for use within retail, logistics, manufacturing and warehousing industries.
Blade changing is particularly dangerous and is the single biggest cause of cuts when using safety knives. Slice patented ceramic blade box cutters and safety knives – as well as being safe to handle – are said to last more than 10 times longer, making them a most cost effective option.
