The term pinching points refers to being ‘Caught in/on/or between hazards’. Typical examples of pinch-point incidents include situations where people trap their fingers in door-jams, in desk draws, in car doors, or inside equipment. Pinch-points are produced when either two moving parts come together (e.g. when rotating gear cogs turn) or when a single moving part comes in close proximity to something solid (e.g. when a moving door slams against a door frame).
