TASK MAP

Exposure Identification

Identify every task where hands are physically involved in guiding, steadying, or correcting

If more than 3 tasks involve direct hand contact — exposure is systemic, not incidental.

#Task / ActivityWork Area / ZoneFrequencyRisk Level
S1

Stage 1 — Control

Load in Motion · Tagline systems and stand-off distance

0
/ 10
💡
What a low score here means Load swing is being managed by hand contact rather than engineered tagline systems. Riggers are within crush and entanglement range during lifts. The exposure is positional — not behavioural.
LoadGuiderSafeGuiderAnti-tangle Taglines
S2

Stage 2 — Position

Final Alignment & Placement · Push/pull tools, hand prohibition

0
/ 10
"If hands are used during positioning — exposure exists. The lift is not the risk. The placement is."
💡
What a low score here means Final positioning is still being done by hand — workers are nudging, bracing, or foot-steering loads into place. This is the most common moment a crush or pinch injury occurs.

S3

Stage 3 — Handle

Material Engagement · Magnetic handling, no-contact standards

0
/ 10
💡
What a low score here means Workers are gripping or cradling ferrous materials — steel plates, pipes, structural sections — with bare hands or gloves only. Magnetic handling tools are absent or inconsistently deployed.

S4

Stage 4 — Operate

Task Execution & Assembly · Highest risk zone for hand injuries

0
/ 16
Highest Risk Zone for Hand Injuries
"Most hand injuries occur during task execution — not during the lift. If this section scores low, the system is fundamentally exposed."
💡
What a low score here means Hand tools requiring finger wrap-around grip, direct chisel holding, or manual pipe cradling are in use. Workers are in the line-of-fire during striking, fitting, and assembly operations. This is where the majority of serious hand injuries occur.

"You may have PPE, SOPs, and training. But if hands still enter the hazard zone — exposure still exists."
