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