JEWELLERY

Jewellery is also a major factor for hand a finger injuries

Rings if worn can get caught or crushed causing severe lacerations or even amputation..!

Watches with steel bands can cut deeply into the skin often stripping skin to the bone in seconds..!

Steel banded watches are also conductive to electricity causing serious burns or even death..!

Bracelets and necklaces are not to be worn at work
