Key Hazards
- Slips causing hand injuries
- Tearing screen material
- Excessive pressure leading to tool loss
2–3 Minute Talk Script
Safe use of spline rollers is important for maintenance workers, window installers, and facility teams. Rollers help secure screen material but require attention to grip and pressure.
Workers should maintain a steady hand and avoid pushing too hard, which can cause slips or tear screens.
Different spline diameters fit different channels, so choosing the correct size ensures a smoother installation.
Keeping the tool clean and free of debris prevents snagging during rolling.
Safety Reminders
- Use controlled pressure.
- Select the right spline size.
- Clean tools before use.
- Keep fingers away from edges.
Ask the Crew
- Do we have the correct spline diameter?
- Are screens free of tears before installation?
