The Statistics

RoSPA statistics appear to indicate that 30,000 door finger trapping accidents occur every year. However, NHS research appears to indicate 80,000 accidents occur, costing the NHS around £240m every year. For every statistic there maybe another ten unreported traumatic injuries.
Amputation and lifelong disability is too often the result of these accidents.

Identifiable risks can be eliminated through adequate risk assessment and use of suitable safe shields.
