Never play with knives or sharp tools.
|
|
|
|
Concentrate on what you are doing when using a knife.
|
|
|
|
Use sharp knives. Dull blades cause more accidents because they are
harder to work with and require more pressure.
|
|
|
|
Always use a cutting board.
|
|
|
|
Keep knives away from the edge of the counter to lessen the chance
of being knocked on the floor or on someone's foot.
|
|
|
|
Step out of the way if a knife is dropped. Don't try to catch it.
|
|
|
|
Use a knife for its intended purpose. Do not use it as a substitute
for a can opener, screw driver, staple remover, or box opener.
|
|
|
|
Carry a knife by the handle with the tip pointed down and the blade
turned away from the body.
|
|
|
|
Keep knife handles free of grease or other slippery substances.
Repair or throw away knives with loose handles.
|
|
|
|
Choose a knife that is the correct size and has the proper blade for
the job to be done.
