Hi! This is Jon on behalf of expertvillage.com. In this video clip I’ll be talking about work area safety. You want to make sure that your work area is clean and well lit. In addition, you want to make sure that the floor around your work area is clean and free from any debris or dirt: this can cause a slip hazard. You want to make sure that you’re not working in the presence of any type of flammable gas or liquids, any other type of explosive atmospheres. And you want to make sure to keep children and any bystanders away while you’re operating the tool; any type of distractions can cause you to lose control and definitely get injured. And lastly you just want to use common sense and be thinking about safety while working. Safety is a key to getting a job done efficiently and effectively.
