Safety first! Whenever taking on a project that involves manual labor, there’s
always an inherent risk of bodily harm. Here are a few simple steps you can
take to protect yourself.
Use insulated tools – This is of utmost importance if you’re going to be
working with or near electricity. Insulated tools have rubber handles that
protect from electric shock and provide easier grip. Not sure if your tools are
insulated? Then assume they aren’t! If they are, they will have the universal
“1,000 Volts” symbol on the handle, so check before you begin.
Hammers aren’t screwdrivers – Use each tool how it’s meant to be used.
Don’t cut corners by using a wrench handle as a hammer or using a
screwdriver as a pry bar. Improperly using tools like this is not only
dangerous, but it’s also bad for the durability of your tools.
Always wear safety gear – When taking on a project, always wear safety
glasses. If you’re doing heavy lifting, consider a lifting belt and gloves.
Assess each step of your project and anticipate the necessary safety
equipment before you begin.
Proper maintenance – Ensure that your tools are sturdy and in working order
before you begin. You may think a sharp saw or knife sounds more
dangerous than a dull one, but dull blades actually cause more accidents
because of their propensity to slip.
How To Use Common Household Tools
Hammer – When using a hammer, the further back you hold the handle, the
more force you’ll put on the object. So, if you’re hammering a nail, start with
precise, lighter hits while gripping the handle close to the hammer’s head.
Once the nail is in place, drive it in by gripping the hammer at the handle’s
end. Swing from the wrist for control and from the elbow for power. The
material you’re working with may require a different type of hammer/mallet.
Screwdriver – First, make sure you have the correct type of head and size
that matches the screws you’re working with – phillips, flat, torque, etc. Grip
the handle with one hand and grip the tip of the screwdriver, near the screw,
with the other. Apply force and twist until the screw catches a grip, then
ensure it goes in straight.
Stepladder – Never set up a stepladder on uneven ground. Always ensure
the hinged metal braces are completely straight and locked in. Heed the
printed warning on the stepladder to not step higher than recommended!
Standing higher than that point increases the odds that you will topple. Do
not leave tools on the ladder. The last thing anyone needs is a heavy
wrench falling onto their head. Read “8 Tips to Prevent Stepladder
Accidents.”
Hand Saws – First, make sure the saw is sharpened, the blade is straight
and has the proper amount of tension. This will make your life easier and
your work cleaner. Before you start hacking away, be sure to measure
(check it twice!) and draw a pencil line on the place you’re going to cut.
Make one soft, perfectly straight cut along the line, hold your elbows in by
your side and angle the saw properly. Then proceed to slowly saw all the
way through along the cut you’ve just made.
The hazards involved with hand tools may be overlooked, but they are
commonly used and can cause serious injury. Don’t miss tips on safety and
