How Dangerous Is It To Watch Someone Else Operate A Power Tool Incorrectly?
It's extremely dangerous to watch someone else operate a
power tool incorrectly. Let me tell you why, whenever someone else is
using a power tool incorrectly and the observer of this event doesn't
know that they're using it incorrectly, they will usually operate the
tool, the same way.
If this doesn't make sense to you, I would like you to take a look at
how you learned to do almost everything that you do today. How did you
learn to eat? Was it by watching other people eat or by trial and error?
How did you learn how to write or read? This should be starting to make
more sense to you now, most people learn by watching other people.
So the next time you see someone operating a power tool incorrectly, you
should explain this to them. Explain to them that they're not doing
anyone any favors, including themselves. By operating power tools in the
wrong manner, you're putting your life and those around you at risk.
Something else that I would like to point out to people that yell a lot.
Whenever you see someone operating a power tool incorrectly don't yell
or scream at them and you shouldn't ever tap them on the shoulder or
bump into them. Things like these cause power tool accidents and should
be avoided.
The biggest problem with people using power tools and safety in general,
is that most people don't know or understand that their lives are in
jeopardy. Once you explain power tool safety to them, you're probably
going to have an advocate instead of an enemy.
