HECHOS

  1. Una sierra de cinta puede ser peligrosa si se utiliza de forma incorrecta. Los incidentes podrían incluir descargas eléctricas, incendios o lesiones personales.
  2. Las sierras de cinta utilizan una hoja metálica continúa accionada y giratoria para realizar cortes uniformes y precisos en metal, madera y otros objetos. Debido a que la hoja móvil tiene dientes cortantes, pueden producirse lesiones graves e incluso la muerte si se utiliza una sierra de cinta de forma incorrecta.
  3. Las sierras de cinta pueden causar lo siguiente: 
  • Cortes y amputaciones
  • Lesiones musculoesqueléticas 
  • Dolor y malestar muscular
  • Fatiga física y mental.
  • Irritación o daño ocular, problemas respiratorios, daño pulmonar, cáncer y empeoramiento de las condiciones de salud existentes.
  • Dermatitis de contacto, problemas respiratorios, enfermedades y puede empeorar los problemas de salud existentes.
  • Puede contribuir a la pérdida de audición inducida por el ruido.

ESTADÍSTICAS

  • Un estudio retrospectivo de 1002 trabajadores de la madera estableció que la sierra de cinta representaba el 6% de las lesiones y el 2% de los 366 incidentes de amputación; el 37% de todas las lesiones eran amputaciones de dedos y el 52% de las lesiones afectaban sólo a la pulpa o a la yema del dedo.
  • Las lesiones por sierra de cinta representan el 11,5% de todas las lesiones por sierra notificadas.
  • Los datos de investigación de muertes y catástrofes desde 1984 hasta 2017 indican que se produjeron 4.160 incidentes relacionados con la sierra de cinta, muchos de los cuales fueron lesiones por amputación de dedos. 
  • El Sistema Nacional de Vigilancia Electrónica de Lesiones (NEISS) estima que las sierras de cinta son la causa de 3.550 lesiones al año (Woodworkers Guild of America, 2019).
  • Una encuesta separada de 283 trabajadores de la madera informó de que el 59% de los encuestados se había lesionado con sierras eléctricas y equiparó las lesiones con sierras de cinta con una incidencia reportada de 2,6 por 1000 horas-persona
