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
