How to Dispose of Used Blades Safely [Video]

Sollex launches a new safe knife blade collection

In workplaces where precision cutting tools are essential, managing blade disposal is crucial for safety. The Sollex Safety Blade Box 988 is designed to meet these needs, offering a robust solution for safely disposing of used blades, reducing the risk of injury.

Safety Blade Box Reduces Cutting Injuries

Many cut injuries affect Swedish craftsmen and professionals every year. On average, a knife injury means 7 days of absence and approximately 35 000 SEK in lost revenue. Many cuts occur when craftsmen change blades or handle old blades. To reduce Swedish cut injuries, Sollex launches the Safety blade box for craftsmen. The Sollex Safety Blade Box is designed primarily for floor layers, but is suitable for all craftsmen who use a lot of blades and smaller blades. 

The Sollex 988 significantly reduces the risk of cuts and punctures. Handling used blades without proper disposal methods results in thousands of workplace injuries annually, many of which could be prevented with better safety equipment. This box not only improves safety but also helps your company comply with health and safety regulations, which mandate proper disposal of sharp objects to prevent workplace injuries.
