Safety

[Greg Smith]

Thought I would Share this accident event with members, it is an area that always need reenforcement.

If you are not a believer in safety glasses (eye protection) this should help make you a believer.

while ripping a piece of wood the blade hit a small knot, usually not a problem but one of the shards broke off and hit me in the face, note it is hard and sharp.

It actually stuck in. Surprise not pain. I had my Safety glasses on  but note if it had been an inch higher and I had not had them on. I would probably have lost the eye.

Always wear eye protection around anything moving or throwing off particles.

Remember to wear closed toe shoes when working around the space.

and to share one of my favorite quotes.

"Accidents reteach the most retaught of safety lessons - that the first rule of safe passage is constant vigilance." - Unknown author
