Tools and Equipment

Episode of Series “Safetycare”.
Selecting the correct tool for the task, inspecting the tool for damage before use, using the tool in the correct way and storing and carrying tools safely may all seem fairly obvious. These four basic rules for safe use of tools are straightforward but are often abused. This video looks at each of the basic rules and it also examines the safe use of ladders.
