■ Are your steps and sidewalks clear, and free from toys, tools, ice and snow?
■ Is your yard free from glass, nails, yard tools and any other sharp items?
■ Do you check play equipment and lawn furniture for safe use?
■ Are clotheslines strung high – so no one will walk into them?
■ Do gardeners wear protective clothing and limit time in the hot sun?
■ Does the person using the power mower wear sturdy shoes?
■ Are children kept away from power tools when they’re in use?
■ Are gas and charcoal grills kept clean and lit carefully?
Remember the Three Stooges? One of their routines was to step on the tip of a face up shovel and get smacked in the face by the hard wooden handle.
I see shovels and rakes left neglected at the homes I visit. I've also seen a guy get smacked in the face by the handle. It was fast as a whip!
He did not think it was funny. Fortunately, he was the one who had left the shovel. I hope this jogs your memory when you see such tools. It is such a little effort to turn them face down.
