Safety in scissors

Since then
it has registered many patents, including the fully auto retracting blade
system found in many of its recent safety knives including the Martego and the
Merak. Its objective is to help reduce cut injuries in the
workplace. This is being achieved through safety functions designed as features
in the knives, but also with the help of the unique training videos and ‘train
the trainer’ programmes.

But it is not just knives that are used to cut. Scissors,
often with sharp cutting edges and pointed ends, are very much a part of the
cutting scene. Recognising this, Martor has recently launched three new pairs
of safety scissors. The safety element to these is the fact they are specially
honed in a way that ensures the blade edge is not sharp and furthermore the
tips are rounded. Yet these safety features make absolutely no difference to
the ability to cut paper, film, cloth, corrugated cartonboard and many other
materials.
