Ladder Safety
On average, 220,000 people in America make a trip to the emergency room because of a ladder related incident.
Ensure that the ladder feet are secure every time you position a ladder.
Always use a ladder that is long enough for the task at hand. A great number of ladder accidents are the result of using a ladder that is too short.
Don't carry equipment while climbing a ladder. Invest in a tool belt or have someone hand the equipment to you.
Face the ladder when climbing up and down; keep your body centered between both side rails.
While up on the ladder, don't overextend your reach. Make sure you keep your weight evenly distributed.

Lawnmowers
Always wear substantial shoes when you mow
Don’t mow wet grass--you may slip & lose control of the mower
Beware of hot surfaces around the engine--especially when fueling or restarting the mower
Fuel the mower in a well ventilated area
Be alert to your surroundings--objects in your path, children, etc.
57,000 people in the U.S. are treated annually in emergency rooms for injuries resulting from lawn mower use

Grilling
Never use any flammable liquid other than barbecue starter fluid to start a charcoal barbecue.
Never add lighter fluid to the coals after they have ignited.
Never burn charcoal inside of home, vehicles, tents or campers. (carbon monoxide)
Always check the coals to be sure they are completely out before storing, cleaning or disposing.
Give your grill a spring cleaning--clear deposits & ensure that the burners are in good condition; replace if needed
Always check for leaks when connecting a fuel tank; make a ‘snoop’ solution with dish soap
Maintain the electric igniter. Replacements are cheap, easy to install & safer than alternatives
Never light with the lid down. An apron, mitts, and long-
handled grilling tools are appropriate grilling PPE
Charcoal Grills Propane Grills

Work/Play Acclimation
Start out with daily, short workout sessions; back off when you’re sore, increase effort as you improve
Pace yourself on a project. If you’re turning over your victory garden, shovel for 15 min per night rather than 4 hours on a Saturday.
Muscles and tendons lose strength when they’re not used. Bear this in mind as you dig into your garden or break out the basketball this Spring.
Condition yourself
Listen to your Body
Have the discipline to stop when you begin to fatigue. Your chances of injury dramatically increase as you approach you limits.

Sun
Don’t forget your shades! Prolonged exposure to sunlight may increase your risk for cataracts (as do diabetes, smoking and alcohol use)
