Flogging spanners
Bolting and heavy equipment maintenance where a spanner must be steadied while another worker strikes.
Industrial applications
When hands should not hold the striking tool.
FingerSaver tools help separate the holding hand from selected impact and pinch zones in industrial maintenance.
Use cases
Applications to review with PSC
Every task requires compatibility and risk assessment. A holding tool is not permission to strike an unstable or unsupported component.
Industrial maintenance
Equipment disassembly, alignment and servicing with predictable striking and rebound zones.
Refinery turnarounds
Maintenance work involving heavy bolted assemblies and restricted-access areas.
Steel and foundry work
Selected impact tasks involving punches, wedges or tooling with appropriate holders.
Marine maintenance
Heavy maintenance tasks on ships, offshore units and marine equipment.
Construction and fabrication
Controlled holding during approved hammering and alignment tasks.
Two-person method
Plan the holding and striking roles.
For long tools and heavier impact tasks, the safest approved method may require two people. One positions and controls the tool while the other strikes. Neither worker should be in the swing or rebound path.
01
Brief the task
Agree the exact striking point, hand positions, signals and stop-work conditions.
02
Position the holder
Confirm secure engagement and a stable stance without crossing the impact zone.
03
Control the strike
Strike only on an agreed signal with suitable tools and PPE.
04
Stop and reassess
If the held tool slips, rotates, rebounds or jams, stop and review the method.
