Posted By Sharon Morgan I am have to compile a safe working practices for the use of scalpels by our design team. They cannot use retractable blades, because they need to 'feel' the fabric and materials. Does anybody have any ideas on where I can obtain some information. Many thanks.

Posted By Marie Dolman Hi Sharon, Have you approached the supplier or manufacturer for information? I had a similar problem with "stanley" type knives and the manufacturer was able to provide basic training information and posters etc. Perhaps try some of the "safety knife" company websites. Regards Marie.
