The Association has recently seen a spate of finger injuries resulting in full or partial amputations. These were all preventable injuries, which have arisen as a result of human error, in the course of normal working operations.
In most instances, such injuries will result in the need to provide urgent medical assistance ashore, and thereafter, repatriation to continue their recovery at home. Should a finger injury occur on board, we recommend the following course of action: First aid should be applied immediately; The Vessel should contact their telemed service about advice on wound cleaning, dressing and infection prevention.

手指受伤事故
协会注意到，近日因手指受伤而导致全部或部分截肢的事件时有发生。这些事故均为常规作业操作过程中的人为疏漏所致，本应避免。
此类事故发生后，通常船舶须靠岸对伤者进行紧急治疗，其后伤员将被遣送回国休养。若船上发生手指受伤事故，推荐采取以下措施：立即进行紧急治疗；船方应通过电话寻求医疗服务，并在指导下进行伤口清理、包扎以及防止感染等。
