Zoneton Handles Log SplitterAccident

Recently, Zoneton Fire and Bullitt County EMS responded to a person who had fingers caught in a log splitter. We’d like to raise people’s awareness that accidents happen quickly and without warning. Accidents can be reduced by maintaining equipment in good repair, reading and following all the safety rules that come with equipment, not being in a hurry and keeping yourmind on the task at hand. Fortunately, the staff at University of Louisville/Jewish Hospital’s hand care centeris very good and the prognosis in this instance was fora complete recovery. We hope by sharing this story, we can reinforce things people already know (but might appreciate a reminderfor).
