Hammering Down Safety

  • Hammers with loose, splintered or cracked handles are susceptible to having the head fly off during use.
  • Use tool boxes or tool chests to keep hammers and tools organized.
  • Hang larger tools on pegboards and never leave hammers or tools strewn about your work area.
  • Replace broken equipment immediately.
  • Make repairs only if you are qualified.
  • Make sure you examine each hammer and tool before using.
