Safety focus: Ergo shears/scissors

[labricoleuse]

In the interest of it being the beginning of the academic year and the regular theatre season for many folks (me included), it's the time when ideally your company or department is going through the yearly training processes--reviewing proper use of shop machinery, renewing respirator training certifications, etc

Hah, my sewing pals laugh at my Fiskars, but I have those same ones & cutting is a breeze w/no pain. Plus, I've only needed 2 pairs in about 10 years of home use (& I think the first pair broke faster bec. I dropped them a few times).

I get a lot of RSI pain from sewing/craft projects + computer use, thus any tool that *doesn't* hurt is a boon, even if it's not as fancy-dancy in other ways.

I LOVE my fiskars!! Once a pair gets old from cutting fabric, I retire them to use as my craft/glue/paint scissors and get a new pair for nice fabric cutting. It is a great circle of life and I never feel bad about getting my older pair messy if necessary.
