When you need to get a job or project finished quickly, there’s a vast variety of equipment large and small that can quickly deal with a specialized task. Since owning large, specialized machines is not practical, renting is usually the way to go. But safe operation should always be at the forefront of any project. Not knowing what you’re doing, or using something in a way that it wasn’t designed to be used can quickly become far more counterproductive than productive.
On any project or job, the basic safety equipment should always be accounted for. The necessities include reliable safety glasses, sufficiently thick gloves and boots and proper head protection. On job sites with multiple workers, a safety vest is often required as well.
Many job site accidents are avoidable. A large number of them stem from workers using equipment in improper ways, or not fully knowing how to use a certain machine. A piece of equipment should be applied ONLY for its intended purpose. Misuse can result in damage or injury. When using machine, keep things professional and responsible. Avoid the urge to use potentially dangerous machines to play jokes. And before attempting to use any kind of machinery, be sure that you are fully qualified and educated on its use.
Commonly rented by eager do-it-yourselfers is the nail gun. It’s small, relatively cheap and practical item that can do a great deal to assist with many projects. But the same as large equipment, it can be counterproductive and dangerous if not handled properly. Something being simple to use does not mean it can’t be hazardous.
If you’re well-practiced at operating something, and you know the ins and outs of the machine, there’s a danger of becoming too relaxed while using it. It’s a good idea to always keep alert, and always keep a realistic understanding of your skill. Being skilled in the use of a piece of construction equipment is not a license to use it in ways it wasn’t designed to be use. When on a job site, or a DIY project, always put safety first. It will help almost any job go smoother and safer.
