Mechanical hazard which may damage or injure by reducing a gap
A pinch point or pinch point hazard is a common class of mechanical hazard where injury or damage may be done by one or more objects moving towards each other, crushing or shearing whatever comes between them.[1] A nip point is a type of pinch point involving rotating objects, such as gears and pulleys.[2] Injuries can range from minor such as blisters to severe like amputations and fatalities.[3] Examples of pinch point hazards include gaps in closing doors and objects swinging or being lowered near fixed objects.[4]
