SAFETY KNOW HOW

Power Tool and Supply sales people like Dave (pictured here in a CLASS 3 safety jacket), help safety professionals every day. They need supplies like hardhats, harnesses, respirators, safety clothing and flame resistant (FR) clothing.  Supplying construction companies with the industrial supplies like power tools and safety equipment needs means we often discuss these three key questions: What type of project or construction site are they working on? What are they doing? What is their concern?
Once we have these three questions answered, it often leads to more information and questions. The key for Power Tool and Supply to be a good supplier for our construction companies and manufacturers is understanding their business, their risks and what tool or equipment will best service them. After talking with a training professional at a local Plumbers Trade School about a plumbing issue, I looked for some helpful DIY tips online. Here are some of the best blogs and videos for helpful DIY Tips!


Vivid eLearning Courses offers a great blog for basic safety handling of hand and power tools.  https://learnatvivid.com/blog/30-tips-for-hand-and-power-tool-safety

I used to read my Dad’s Popular Mechanics as a kid, now I enjoy their online magazine. Here is a great “how to” from them:

Everyone is familiar with eBay and knows someone who has bought or sold online using the eBay platform. One cautionary warning is many knock-offs are found there. Don’t let a great item description fool you. The knock-offs are great imitators on the outside but the proof is in the pudding. The tool will not work as well as the real one and you just threw your money down the drain.
Check out eBay's safety tips. There are a lot of practical tips here:

Think you know everything about safety? Take this quiz to test your knowledge. It may surprise you and if nothing else it will educate you. My Safety Sign offers a great online source for custom or standard work safety signage.
