For those who are handy, safety is no accident when doing repairs and making improvements in the home.
More accidents occur in the home than in the workplace.
Always wear appropriate safety equipment, and observe safety advice and proper use of equipment. Establish a routine that makes safety automatic, and never use a tool you are unfamiliar with or perform a task you are unqualified to do. When using hand tools, doing home improvement, painting, or plumbing, you can avoid careless injury by using the right tools for the job and making sure you have proper training for equipment. Always maintain and use personal safety equipment for eyes, lungs, ears, hands and feet when your work involves hazards related to them. Install or repair equipment only if you're qualified, and never do electric work unless you're qualified.
