slightly away from your body, with the tip pointed down to your side.

Knife Transfer
• Method 1– When someone asks you to pass a knife, turn it over
vertically and offer them the handle side first. You can grasp the sides on the knife blade with your fingertips to protect yourself.
• Method 2 (preferred)– Place a knife that you are handing to someone down on
a clean surface, and let the other person pick it up.

Implement Safe Work Practices
• Allow only experienced, trained workers to sharpen knives.
• Keep the thumb beneath the knuckle guard rim protection on the handle of the sharpener, rather than on top of the rim where it may get cut.
