SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
  1. Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
    • Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses or goggles to protect your eyes from flying debris, especially when driving or removing nails.
    • Hand Protection: Consider wearing work gloves to protect your hands from splinters, sharp edges, or blisters.
  2. Inspect the Hammer:
    • Before use, inspect the claw hammer for any damage, such as a loose head or a cracked handle. Do not use a damaged hammer as it can lead to accidents.
  3. Choose the Right Size:
    • Select a hammer of an appropriate size for the task. Using the right size ensures better control and reduces the risk of overstriking.
  4. Secure Work Materials:
    • Secure the materials you are working on to prevent them from moving or slipping. This stability helps in accurate and controlled hammering.
  5. Proper Handling:
    • Hold the hammer with a firm grip, placing your hand near the end of the handle for better control. Avoid holding the hammer too close to the head.
  6. Correct Striking Technique:
    • When driving nails, use controlled and accurate swings to avoid accidentally hitting your fingers or thumb. Aim for the center of the nail head to prevent bending.
  7. Maintain a Stable Stance:
    • Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart to maintain a stable stance. This helps with balance and control while using the hammer.
  8. Beware of Surroundings:
    • Be aware of your surroundings and ensure there is enough space to swing the hammer without hitting objects or people nearby.
  9. Use the Claw Safely:
    • When using the claw to remove nails, position the hammer at the correct angle. Avoid excessive force, and make sure your other hand is out of the way to prevent injury.
  10. Store Safely:
    • When not in use, store the claw hammer in a designated and secure location, away from the reach of children or anyone unfamiliar with its proper use.
  11. Proper Maintenance:
    • Keep the hammer clean and well-maintained. Replace damaged handles promptly, and periodically check for any signs of wear or deterioration.
  12. Communicate with Others:
    • If you're working with others, communicate and establish clear zones to avoid accidental collisions or interference.
