Safety Tips

These are some safety tips some we highly recommend. Common sense is included in these safety tips.

Gun tips

  1. Keep Your Knife Sharp: A properly sharpened knife functions better and is safer to use. Dull knives can slip unexpectedly, leading to accidents. Regularly maintain the sharpness of your blade using a sharpening stone, not a power grinder, which can overheat the edge and make it brittle.
  2. Cut Away from Your Body: Always cut away from yourself, not toward your body. This simple rule helps prevent accidental injuries. Additionally, avoid pointing the knife at anyone, and never throw a knife to someone—hand it to them handle first.
  3. Store Knives Safely: When not in use, keep knives folded or sheathed. Never leave a knife lying around where someone might accidentally get cut. Proper storage reduces the risk of mishandling and ensures that others won’t encounter sharp blades unexpectedly.

Alarm Systems:

  1. Choose Reliable Alarm Systems: When selecting an alarm system for your home or business, opt for reputable brands and reliable models. Look for features like motion sensors, door/window contacts, and audible alarms. Regularly test your system to ensure it’s functioning correctly.
  2. Secure Entry Points: Install alarms on all entry points, including doors, windows, and garage doors. Make sure they’re properly aligned and trigger an alert if tampered with. Additionally, consider adding glass break sensors to detect window breakage.
  3. Learn How to Arm and Disarm: Familiarize yourself with the arming and disarming procedures for your alarm system. Teach other household members or employees how to use it correctly. Avoid sharing access codes with unauthorized individuals.

Electricity safety tips:

  1. Avoid Overloading Outlets: Don’t overload electrical outlets or power strips. Spread out your devices and appliances to prevent overheating and potential fires.
  2. Inspect Cords and Plugs: Regularly check power cords for fraying, exposed wires, or damage. Replace damaged cords promptly. Ensure that plugs fit securely into outlets.
  3. Turn Off Appliances When Not in Use: Unplug chargers, appliances, and electronics when they’re not in use. This not only saves energy but also reduces the risk of electrical hazards.
