Spring Safety Tips For the Atlanta HomeSpring into safetySpring is a great time to give your home a face-lift, but before you begin a project, take these precautions against accidents: Don't try to “wing it.” Read all directions for your project before you start. Keep tools in good shape. Make sure hammer heads are secure, and keep saws and chisels sharp. Unplug power tools when you're not using them or are changing blades and bits. Use proper techniques. Don't pull nails with pliers — use a claw hammer instead. Pound nails only with hammers and use a vise to hold small objects. Protect yourself. Wear ear and eye protection when necessary. Don't wear jewelry or baggy sleeves, and pull back long hair. Wear a mask when you sand or saw, and wear chemical-resistant gloves when using solvents. |
