Why?

Doing the same movements over and over is not a good alternative to prevent injuries. You should follow these OSHA suggestions here, instead: ■ Break up tasks to avoid continuous cutting or slicing. ■ Don't work with the hands or wrists held in a bent or twisted position. ■ Keep knives sharp. Ask your manager or a more experienced co-worker for assistance when learning to sharpen blades. ■ Use different knives to see which one is more comfortable to use. ■ Keep all slicers, cutters, and other equipment sharp and in good condition. Dull or improperly working equipment requires more force to operate.
