Building on our earlier post on safely storing chemicals and fertilizers, we’d like to talk about safe storage of tools and equipment in your garage. The garage can be a dangerous place for young children and pet, but there are steps you can take to make it safer. This page provides a thorough look at safety issues, including some of the tips we provided earlier, including tools.
- Keep equipment in good working order with bright sharp blades and oiled wood handles.
- Unplug and put away tools when you’re finished with them.
- The heaviest equipment is best stored close to the floor where it can’t fall on anyone.
- Store tools and equipment in locking cabinets.
If you don’t have the right cabinets, there are ready-made options out there, or you can contact us. We can customize your storage area to provide the perfect solution to the equipment you own and the space you have.
