Hand tool safety is essential to prevent injuries while using tools like hammers, screwdrivers, and wrenches. Always inspect tools before use to ensure they are in good condition, with no cracks or loose parts. Use the right tool for the job, and keep your workspace organized to avoid accidents. When using hand tools, maintain a firm grip and use proper body mechanics to avoid strain. Always cut away from your body and keep your hands clear of cutting edges. Wearing appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses and gloves, can further reduce the risk of injury.
