SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Safety measures and precautions

  1. Protective Gear:
    • Safety Glasses or Goggles: Wear safety glasses or goggles to protect your eyes from glass shards and debris.
    • Gloves: Consider wearing cut-resistant gloves to protect your hands from accidental cuts.
  2. Workspace Preparation:
    • Clean Workspace: Ensure your workspace is clean and free of any clutter to avoid accidental bumps or disruptions.
    • Stable Surface: Work on a stable and flat surface to prevent the glass from moving unpredictably.
  3. Proper Body Position:
    • Stable Stance: Stand in a stable and balanced position to maintain control over the glass cutter and to prevent accidental slips.
  4. Cutting Surface:
    • Use a Cutting Mat: Place a cutting mat or a soft surface beneath the glass to absorb the impact and reduce the risk of chipping.
  5. Inspect Tools:
    • Check Cutter Condition: Before use, inspect the glass cutter for any damage or wear. A damaged cutter may not provide a clean and precise cut and can be more prone to accidents.
  6. Score Away from the Body:
    • Direction of Cutting: When scoring the glass, cut away from your body. This minimizes the risk of injury if the glass were to break unexpectedly.
  7. Controlled Pressure:
    • Apply Even Pressure: When scoring the glass, apply even and consistent pressure. Avoid excessive force, as it may lead to unintended breaks.
  8. Score Only Once:
    • Single Scoring Line: Score the glass with a single, continuous line. Avoid going over the same line multiple times, as this can weaken the glass and make it more prone to breaking unpredictably.
  9. Secure Glass Edges:
    • Secure Edges Before Breaking: Ensure that the edges of the glass are properly secured or supported before attempting to break it along the scored line.
  10. Cleanup:
    • Remove Glass Debris: After cutting, carefully clean up any glass shards or debris immediately. Use a brush or vacuum designed for glass cleanup.
  11. First Aid:
    • Know First Aid: Familiarize yourself with basic first aid procedures for cuts and have a first aid kit readily available.
