Power tools are common pieces of workplace equipment that greatly reduce the time it takes to complete tasks. And extension cords allow you to operate these power tools in places not easily reached by using just the cord on the tool itself. However, both tools and cords can pose a serious risk to you if they’re not handled, operated, or maintained properly. The good news is, most power tool and extension cord-related accidents and injuries are often preventable by properly inspecting tools and cords before every use, as well as following safe work practices.

This program is designed to familiarize you with potential hazards related to power tools and extension cords, as well as help you understand what preventive measures you can take to stay safe while handling and operating them.
