DIY Safety and Home Precautions

Love DIY? Without suggesting that the ordinary DIY enthusiast possesses anything

less than ample skill to get the job done, here's how to avoid some of the more common injuries and pitfalls associated with home DIY.

Be prepared A well-stocked tool kit and accessories will be a godsend when those troublesome issues arise. A decent selection of fuses, batteries, bulbs, tape etc is crucial. Furthermore, adequate storage and tool maintenance reduces the risk of injury. Keep blades etc covered, drill wires gathered and secured and so on.

Know the tools Using the wrong tool for the job could be detrimental to health and home. For example, using a chainsaw for mdf sheet cutting is incredibly hazardous!

Be aware of utilities Paying due care concerning water, electricity and gas during DIY adventures is going to keep the careful DIY enthusiast out of hospitals or

holes in the ground! Understanding the safety issues involved during DIY is crucial, especially in terms of utilities. For those unsure of how to police the situation get a professional in.

Careful balance Falls are the most common causes of injuries in the home. Whilst some posses the agility of an adolescent gibbon, the fact is that most will fall somewhere between elderly tortoise and panicked deer. When attempting the loftier repair work, simple measures like wearing non-slip shoes, resting ladders on secure and level surfaces, not straining to reach etc can alleviate a lot of the risk.

Give in gracefully - Knowing when to accept defeat is an admirable quality in the case of DIY. There are simply some jobs that are best left to the professionals. For example, a timber merchant will (quite literally) fly through any sheet cutting tasks with incredible ease and precision. Most timber merchants encourage the custom of small, private projects.
