As times change and we become more
aware of our environment, the need to work safely and protect our
health becomes more important. Although even with the wealth of

the importance of their personal safety. Following you will find
one simple statistic that should help you realize how important
it is to work safely.
Preventing Eye Injuries
Did you know that every day,
about 2,000 U.S. workers have job-related eye injuries requiring
medical treatment? One-third of those injuries require emergency
hospital treatment, and more than 100 result in one or more days
of lost work. Most of these injuries result from small particles
or objects striking or abrading the eye.
In addition
to the safety and health protection products available at Woodstock
Hardware, there is a wealth of information available to support
your safety and health protection efforts. You will find helpful
information at the following Federal Web Sites and Safety & Health sites.

As an example following
you will find simple, yet important, information relative to the
use of hand tools.
Safe Use of Hand Tools
A good set of hand tools is essential in
virtually any workplace. Unfortunately, tools also contribute
to countless injuries when used incompetently. Here are some
tips for using tools safely:
- Use the correct tool
for the job.
- Keep tools in good condition.
Handles should be tight and free from defect. Cutting tools should
be kept sharp. Wedges and punches should be free from “mushroom
heads”.
- Use and maintain power tools according to their
instructions.
- Make sure power tools
are properly grounded or are double insulated. Never
cut the three-prong plug off or use a two prong adapter.
- Switch off and unplug
power tools before changing blades or servicing and
repairing.
- Wear clothing with no
strings or loose ends to catch on things.
- Wear appropriate personal
protective equipment (PPE), such as glasses, goggles,
face shields, dust masks, hearing protection, etc.
- Keep bystanders at a safe
distance.
- Keep all guards and shields
in place. Learn to use a “push
stick” with table saws.
- Unplug and put tools away after use. Consider
locking out power tools to prevent others from using them without
permission, especially young children.
