Cutting or trimming metal sheets can lead to injuries and accidents if not done properly. Observe the following safety measures to avoid mishaps while working.
Wear Protective Gear
To avoid injury, wear safety equipment whenever you use a tool. Because cutting metal generates dust and fragments that can get into your eyes, nose, and mouth, wear goggles, a face mask, and thick gloves. Cover your arms and legs when using an angle grinder or circular saw to avoid spark burns. Put in earplugs to help block out the harsh sounds.
Cordon Off Your Work Area
If you have pets and children, they may wander towards your workspace. Enclose your area by blocking the entrance or putting up objects to discourage entry.
Clean Up
After you are done working, don’t forget to tidy up your area. Unplug tools and put them somewhere kids and pets can’t play with or reach. Next, sweep the floors to remove fragments and debris that may trip or puncture someone.
