Wristlets

Restraints are mechanical devices which hold the operators hands out of the hazard area through wrist straps and attachments from behind the operator. Restraints are static devices adjusted to always keep hands away from die area. Restrains work for primary operations where parts are large enough, not requiring close manipulation near the die area. These devices can not normally be used for small parts or automatic operations. Restraints will inhibit the movement of the operator to go cross handed or turn around. They are very dependent upon good maintenance, proper adjustment, worker acceptance and use and require high supervisor involvement and constant OSHA documentation from the supervisor. There is no practical method to interlock these devices into the control to insure their proper use and adjustment.
