Unsafe lifting practices have been blamed for an accident on a London construction site in which a worker was seriously hurt when he was struck by steel beams falling from a tower crane.
John Doyle Construction was prosecuted after Stephen James was hit by the steel girders on a residential development at Wilton Plaza in Victoria in September 2007.
He was working as a slinger – directing crane drivers – for John Doyle Construction.
Two Canadian entrepreneurs have launched the AirMouse, a glove-like device, which dispenses with the traditional computer mouse and may provide help for sufferers of repetitive strain injuries and carpal tunnel syndrome.
The AirMouse device straps to the user’s wrist, thumb, index finger and middle finger, while a sensor on the palm, between the thumb and index finger reads the hand’s movements. The left and right click buttons are located under the tips of the index and middle fingers.
To work, the hand must be touching a surface, like the top of a desk or a pant leg. The device is designed so users can type comfortably while wearing the glove.
