Know where the closest fire extinguisher is as well as the first aid kit. And pay attention to what you are doing. For your own safety, do not work around people misusing tools. For the safety of others, don't misuse tools. It's ok to ask others for help, people are pretty friendly (but it's good etiquette to wait if they're using power tools).</li> | <li>Safety first — use at minimum all required safety gear for the tool you are using.
