Self-help prevention: safety in shed, garage, workshop and gardens

SELF-HELP PREVENTION: SAFETY IN SHED, GARAGE, WORKSHOP AND GARDENS

Shed, garage and workshop
• Use the right tool - don't make do.
• Use ramps for cars, not piles of bricks.
• Keep garden tools hanging safely on walls.
• Keep weed killer and other chemicals high up and out of reach. Never use domestic
containers (e.g. lemonade bottles) for weed killer etc.
• Check children's bikes for safety at least twice a year.
• Wear safety goggles or glasses when sanding or grinding.
• Wear a mask when spraying and ventilate the area.
• Work in a good light.
• Petrol must be kept in metal cans only (plastic degenerates and leaks). No more than 4
gallons may be stored at home.
• Keep children away when you are doing something dangerous-in one third of DIY accidents
it is the watching child who is hurt.
• Never run an engine in a closed garage.

Gardens
• Make sure ladders have a firm footing.
• Don't be overprotective to older children.
• Supervise small children all the time on swings.
• Keep ponds fenced or covered if you have young children.
• Make water butts safe.
• Make sure paths and steps are even, especially for the elderly.
• Teach children to recognize poisonous trees and shrubs.
• Teach everybody to respect swimming pools.
• Put out fires before going to bed.
• Never throw inflammable liquids or aerosol cans on to fires.
• Wear stout shoes or boots when mowing.
• Clear lawns of stones and toys before mowing.
• Never leave a mower unattended when the engine is running or, in the case of an electric
mower, still plugged in.
• When using power hedge clippers, keep the flex over your shoulder out of your way.
• Don't leave garden tools lying around-they are a danger to everyone.
• Keep septic tanks properly covered.
• Check deckchairs and garden furniture for safety after the winter.
• Never adjust your mower or hedge trimmer while it is running.
