Home repairs and improvement projects can be dangerous. If you are using sharp tools or power tools you must take extra precautions to avoid injury. Here are 7 tips to stay safe when you are working around your home:
- If you are working with wiring be sure to turn off the circuit.
- Unplug your power saw before you change the blade.
- Keep your power tools dry and only plug them into grounded electrical outlets.
- Read the instruction manual and follow the manufacturer's safety instructions before using a power tool.
- Keep your fingers away from a power blade. Clamp down small pieces of wood instead of holding them.
- Take off your gloves and roll up your sleeves when you use a power tool.
- Wear eye and ear protection when you are working with a power tool.
Some of these tips may seem silly or like common sense to you when you read them here, but safety is a very serious matter. Thousands of people are injured each year by using power tools. The vast majority of these accidents could have been prevented if the person had followed and adhered to these 7 tips.
You also want to remember to lift with your legs and not your back. Be sure to have a helper if you are working on something strenuous. Try not to work with your body in an awkward position. Also, take regular breaks while you are working. You can always call a handyman if you need help completing a project at your home.
