To maintain a safe workplace, keep hand tools in good condition and use them correctly. Employees should be trained on proper usage and required to wear personal protective equipment (PPE). Key safety tips include positioning chisels away from the body, using the correct size wrenches, keeping fingers clear of saw blades, and being cautious with pliers around live circuits. Hammers should strike squarely, and screwdrivers should only be used for screws.
