3. Background research

Research on work-related injuries caused by hand tools is published worldwide on an ongoing basis. We can learn a lot from the work of others. So we read books, reports and analytical studies. We examine international medical databases.

What are the risks associated with this particular type of tool? Which factors exacerbate the risk of work-related injuries? What are the statistics on accidents and injuries? Which injuries are described in detail?

What can we learn from the technical performance tests that have been carried out? What can we learn from user experience that has been documented? What experience have we at Lindstrom had with this type of tool? What can we learn from it?
