Forum in need of a Safety Index/topic ?

Postby Parson Snows » Tue Jan 25, 2005 8:55 am

reading some of the posts I would suggest that under

Sausage Making
Curing and
Smoking

a "Safety topic" be added. This would allow all forum members, though especially the newcomers to learn of the dangers of each piece of equipment prior to loosing a digit, etc.

EXAMPLE FROM FORUM
Jonty advised that
on the isue of safe sausage making - porkert grinders and fingers do not make a very good combination - I managed to spend christmas with one heavily bandaged finger!!

Parson Snows wrote
This is true for any equipment, especially motorised equipment. Typically when using a mincer/grinder a pusher/stuffer, normally made of pvc/plastic construction should be used exactly for that purpose. Avoid making "finger sausages". On the same theme it is better to work with sharp knives than dull/blunt ones. Statistics show that more accidents happen with blunt equipment.


kind regards

ANOTHER EXAMPLE FROM THE FORUM

Regarding keeping the skin/rind on or off Helen wrote
if you can when you buy your belly/loin get the butcher to remove it that way you'll keep all your fingers intact!!!!

Parson Snows wrote
If you're going to do it yourself make sure that the knife is sharp and keep your fingers out of the way. Using a blunt knife, and having to push harder, you are more likely to end up with cut fingers - as a minimum.
