This week’s Tool Box Safety Talk was about hand tool safety!

Hand tools are a common and useful tool in many industries, but they can also be dangerous if used improperly. To ensure the safety of yourself and those around you, it is important to follow proper hand tool safety guidelines.

Here are a few key hand tool safety tips:

🛠️ Use the right tool for the job: Make sure to select the appropriate tool for the task at hand. Using the wrong tool can lead to accidents or damage to the tool.

🛠️ Wear protective equipment: Wear gloves, safety glasses, and other protective gear as needed to prevent injuries.

🛠️ Inspect tools before use: Check hand tools for any damage or wear before using them. Discard or repair any damaged tools to prevent accidents.

🛠️ Follow proper usage instructions: Make sure to read and understand the instructions for using hand tools before using them.

🛠️ Use caution when working with power tools: Power tools can be particularly dangerous if used improperly. Make sure to follow all safety instructions and use appropriate protective equipment when working with power tools.

By following proper hand tool safety guidelines, you can reduce the risk of accidents and injuries, and ensure a safe and productive work environment.

In 2020, more than 1 in 5 workplace deaths occurred in the construction industry. Just over one-third of the deaths were due to falls, slips, and trips, and were almost entirely from falls to a lower level.

We keep our focus on safety everyday which ensures our crews work together to keep each other safe on the work site.
