"At work people are wear-
ing aprons, safety gloves,
eyeglasses and a respirator.
At home they use the same
chemicals in smaller quan-
tities with no protection."
He says people are careless
with electricity and with
machinery, too.
"At work if a person is not
an electrician, he's not allow-
ed to do an electrician's job.
There are lock out procedures
that prevent people from tur-
ning power on when they
shouldn't.
"At home if we have a
3 -prong plug and no suitable
outlet, we cut off the groun-
ding pin instead of changing
the outlet.
"We stand in water wearing
sandals while we trim the
hedge with an electric
trimmer.
"We cut the lawn with
power mowers with no protect
tion for our feet. We should be
wearing steel toed shoes or
boots."
It's just about as easy to
cause trouble in the winter as
the summer.
"If we work in a freezer en-
vironment at work, the com-
pany provides snowmobile
suits and gloves. At home we
go out,and shovel the snow in
a light jacket that's no protec-
tion against cold,
"We lift to much snow the ..
wrong way, There is no one'at
home to tell you bow to lift, or
correct you if you lilt the
wrong way."
We use ladders carelessly
and fall off them. Ladders
that get thrown out at work
often end up a home.
We store things carelessly
overhead and they fall on us.
And we store things in the
wrong place and make them
dangerous.
"We keep too many liquids
that can burn. Gas, for In-
startce. How many people
keep `gas in approved safety
containers? Haw many peo-
ple store improperly drained
outboard motors indoors?
"We keep varsol and
turpentine and a half full
paint containers in the fur-
nace room. We should buy
smaller quantities to start
with and throw away lef-
tovers. People won't throw
rags out, either. Once you've
used a rag with paints or
solvents or wax, throw it
away.
"Don't work with inflam-
mable material in the furnace
room. To have a fire you need
oxygen, a source of ignition
and fuel. If you leave one of
those out of the equation, you
won't have a fire. So keep fuel
out of the furnace room."
Know how to use all your
working materials and equip -
Meat. Mitchell comments
that too many people read in-
structions only when all else
falls,
"Have fire extinguishers.
ready, and take the time to
know how to use, them. Know
when to fight a fire, and'when
to run."
He says people should buy
and use safety equipment
such as goggles, masks,
gloves and shoes. You can get
them at safety supply stores
and hardware stores.
He also recommends taking
a St. John Ambulance first
aid course. They're taught
with an emphasis on safety
and avoiding accidents, and
they'll teach you what to do
when there is an emergency

"I see a tall, dark, handsome
divorced man who has vowed
never to get married again."
