It’s no accident that Moving Edge Safety Knives are a firm favourite. With outstanding cutting performance, they reduce the risk of knife accidents in the workplace.
Our safety knife collection comprises two ranges - the innovative GR8 and the long established DBX.
The all new GR8 range delivers first-class cutting action on an extensive range of materials. Unique design features along with technological advances provide an even better performance.
Cardboard, for instance, a material that is notoriously stubborn to cut, can now be carried out safely, easily and effectively.
The GR8 range features a patented ‘moving action’ blade. The blade, which is enclosed within a ‘finger-safe’ gap, moves automatically during use so unlike other knives, will not snag or jam. The blade itself slices as it cuts and lasts up to four times longer than a conventional blade.
Meanwhile the DBX Safety Knife continues to be a popular as ever. The DBX is used exactly the same way as a traditional open bladed knife. It incorporates a blade encasement that slots into the body of the knife shielding the user during the blade changing process. The DBX also features a guard that protects the user from coming into contact with the blade during the cut. While providing high levels of safety, its performance and versatility are not compromised in any way.
The matter of preventing cuts and other wounds caused by knives in the workplace as well as at home is a serious issue. All too often Accident and Emergency units have to treat injuries which can sometimes be fatal due to knife wounds.
In many working environments, it is impossible to eliminate the use of hand knives because they are essential for a wide variety of occupations. Even the most skilled and careful workers suffer lapses of concentration at times which can lead to accidents.
Safety knives, such as those offered by Moving Edge, can significantly reduce the risks of injury through cuts which are most frequently caused by a conventional knife slipping during the cutting action. Most injuries are to the fingers, hands and arms.
There is also the chance for conventional knives and blades to quite literally ‘fall into the wrong hands’ especially if they are removed from their place of work. Investing in Moving Edge safety knives once more reduces the potential for accidental injury as well as the even more serious problem of knife crime.
In the plastics processing industry for example, HSE statistics suggest that hand knife injuries typically account for 25-50% of all lost time accidents. The food industry and locations where packaging materials have to be slit open are also prone to high levels of cut-related accidents.
Damaged stock due to accidental slitting by sharp knives is a further headache. This costs businesses substantial sums of wasted money. Moving Edge safety knives have been designed to prevent damage when slitting and perform as effectively as an open bladed knife.
So, make the safe choice for both user and product protection - reach out for Moving Edge.
