gadgets? No matter the type of project, hand

Hand tools and power tools present a host of
potential hazards such as flying objects,
electrical shock, falling objects, punctures and
lacerations. Here are 10 quick and easy tips for

INSPECT YOUR TOOLS
Never issue or use a damaged or
defective hand or power tool. Always
make sure they are in good working order
before and after each use.
PICK THE RIGHT TOOL
Make sure you are using the correct tool
for the task at hand. This also means
using the right sized bits, blades and
accessories on your power tools.
WEAR YOUR PPE
Issue personal protective equipment to
your employees and make sure they
wear them properly. This includes items
like safety goggles, hard hats, etc.
DON’T ALTER YOUR TOOLS
Never remove guards or disable safety
devices on power tools. Don’t paint or
cover up your tools as this could prevent
you from noticing chips or cracks.
HANDLE WITH CARE
Tools are not toys. Never throw or toss a
tool in the direction of or directly to a
coworker. Don’t use electrical cords to
lower or lift a tool to get it to a workspace.

KEEP YOUR DISTANCE
When working with hand and power tools
be sure you have enough room to safely
operate without coming into contact with
other objects or coworkers.
PICK UP AFTER YOURSELF
Don’t leave unused tools lying around the
jobsite. They can create tripping hazards
or be accidentally knocked on
someone’s head.
UNPLUG AND DISCONNECT
Don’t leave electric power tools plugged
in when not in use, when making
adjustments such as replacing blades
and bits, or loading fasteners.
KEEP YOUR WORKSPACE CLEAN
A cluttered floor can lead to accidental
trips or falls which can be extremely
dangerous when working with hand and
power tools.
GET TRAINED UP
Make sure you and your employees are
thoroughly trained on the proper use of
hand and power tools required for the
task at hand.
