conditions in the surroundings.

carelessness, improper use of equipment or lack of safety gear.
Injuries today can plague you for the rest of your life! Think about it.

on it. Don’t get caught after the fact saying “I just
wasn’t thinking.” Never act without considering the safest way to
complete the task.
