I ask my wife to check on me once in a while when I’m in the garage.

Most accidents in the garage happen really quietly. It’s like when people drown … deadly things can happen without a sound ever made or not much sound.

I’ve heard of guys getting stuck under their vehicles because they ignored basic caution and thought they could get away with a risky situation.

I know two mechanics that dropped their vehicle from a hoist, and one of them were killed.

So many things in a garage that can casually kill or maim you

• Air tools or air compressors
• drills drill presses
• saws for wood or metal
• grinding wheels
• lathe
• welding equipment
• presses or jacking equipment moving heavy weights or generating lots of force
• chemicals and not knowing how dangerous they can be
• carbon dioxide or other substances displacing oxygen

… and that’s just in a garage … the dangers increase when you start wood working construction or renovations in, on, under or near a house
