SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Safety Precautions

Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
- Use safety glasses or goggles to protect your eyes from flying debris or accidental slips.
- Consider wearing gloves to provide additional hand protection, especially if you are working on tasks that may involve sharp edges.
Inspect the Screwdriver:
- Before use, inspect the flat screwdriver for any signs of damage, such as bent or worn tips. A damaged screwdriver can slip or break during use, leading to injuries.
Choose the Right Size:
- Use the appropriate size of flat screwdriver for the task. Using the wrong size may lead to slipping or damaging the screw, potentially causing injury.
Secure Workpiece:
- Ensure that the workpiece is securely held or clamped in place before using the screwdriver. This helps prevent unexpected movement that could result in injury.
Use the Correct Technique:
- Apply force in a controlled manner. Avoid excessive force that may cause the screwdriver to slip or lead to muscle strain.
- Position your hand away from the area where the screwdriver may slip to prevent injury in case of accidental slippage.
Keep a Firm Grip:
- Hold the screwdriver with a firm grip, and make sure your hands are dry to prevent slipping. The TPR handle provides a non-slip grip, but additional precautions are still important.
Work in Well-Lit Areas:
- Ensure proper lighting in your work area to clearly see the screw and the tool. This reduces the risk of slipping or making mistakes that could lead to injury.
Store Properly:
- When not in use, store the screwdriver in a safe and designated location. This prevents accidental contact with the tool and reduces the risk of tripping or falling.
Be Mindful of Surroundings:
- Be aware of your surroundings, especially when working in a busy or crowded area. Communicate with others to avoid accidental collisions or interference.
Avoid Using as a Pry Bar:
- Never use a flat screwdriver as a pry bar or chisel. This can damage the tool and increase the risk of injury.
Follow Manufacturer's Guidelines:
- Adhere to the manufacturer's recommendations and guidelines for the specific flat screwdriver model you are using.
