Important Safety Tip
2006-11-23
Last week's safety tip pointed out that one-third of the College's collegiate injuries have affected some part of the elbow. Over the past 31 years, this part of the body was involved in 875 recordable injuries. Of these, epidermis and ulnar nerve (funny bone) were affected 72 percent of the time, egos were affected 81 percent and the back of the head (being smacked by an irate onlooker) were affected 22 percent of the time.

Not surprisingly, slips of the tongue figured prominently in such injuries. In most cases purpose-built tools such as time machines would have been a better choice. Gravity has been another key factor. People got hurt when objects fell onto their elbows or when they tried to play hacky-sack with a falling object. In addition, relationships got strained when people attempted to break a bad habit with a fall to the ground. Simply reaching out to a fellow student or staff member has resulted in lacrimation when dusty ledges were unexpectedly encountered. Besides letting things fall, you should also watch others drop things on newly-worked metals. And consider your elbows' position when doing repetitive tasks. Repeated forceful elbow
flexing aggravated those standing in the way.

To avoid elbow injuries you should review the educational process before you begin. How could my elbows get hurt? Are there elbow pads that I should wear for safety? Am I using the best elbow pad for the job? What happens if an elbow pad fails? Are there humorous situations to watch for? Is repetitive motion causing elbow pads
to wear out? Please check with the Office of Elbow Pad Replacements. When caught early, elbow pad misuse can often be resolved with a few collegiate adjustments.
