Well the government is sending out the stimulus checks to see if we will kick start the economy. Like most red-blooded Americans my money is already spent. It is not easy (or cheap) to raise a family and money goes very quickly no matter who you are, which is all the more reason for each of us to work safely both on and off the job.
Yard Tips
-Watch the toes! Remember to wear proper shoes for mowing and ear plugs are also a good idea.
-SEE you later! Always wear safety glasses while trimming weeds...you could put an eye out with a flying rock or misc. debris.
-Say what? Wear ear plugs with your power tools. Chain and skill saws (and many other tools) are noisy and can have devastating effects on your hearing.
-Be safe not sorry! Check the cords on power tools and always use a GFCI. More people die from 110 volt electrocution than any other.
-Call BEFORE you dig! Whether you are putting up a new building or installing a fence...save yourself some serious cash (from damaging buried powerlines) and avoid a trip to the ER.
-Yard and garden equipment It is also important to make sure your equipment has all the guards in place prior to using it. Proper maintenace is the key to good service and long equipment life. Never fuel a hot piece of equipment. Gasoline vapors can ignite very quickly and the results are often devastating.
The Grill! Make sure to check all the hoses for cracks or leaks before you fire up the grill. Never us a propane grill indoors (not even in a garage) because the results can be deadly. Remember a fire extinguisher is a great thing to have around the house.
