DON’T RUN, JUMP OR CLIMB WITH SHARP OBJECTS

  • Using a little common sense with sharp objects is the best way to prevent accidental injuries involving cuts or punctures.
  • Don't run, jump or climb with sharp objects.
  • Avoid transporting them.
  • If you do have to transport them, carry with the sharp or pointy end pointed away from you.
  • Don't allow children to handle sharp objects.
  • Store sharp objects in a drawer with a safety latch.
  • If handling sharp objects, be careful if wet because your hand could slip onto the sharp or pointy end.
  • Let falling objects fall ... don't try to catch them and risk cutting your hand.
  • Some common sharp objects that we may take for granted: Scissors, forks, kitchen knives, screw drivers, letter openers, and pens and pencils, to name a few.
