Description

Tools are a common part of our everyday lives. We use hand and power tools at home and work for a variety of reasons. Work tools are very useful but can also be very dangerous. Anyone that has had a wrench slip from a bolt and scraped their knuckles or hammered their finger instead of the nail knows the pain that can occur from a simple mishap. Unfortunately, more serious injuries can and do occur with the use of such tools. The purpose of this training course is to provide information about some basic safety rules, procedures and safeguards associated with hand and power tools.
