Stay Safe in the Garage

From Jeff Beneke, About.com GuideAugust 30, 2010

Follow me on:

Here's a test I would have flunked. What do you think is the most common source of injuries around the house? If you, unlike me, said "slips and falls in the garage," you pass with flying colors. That, at least, is what an article from Realty Times claims.

Actually, I'm not sure I would have put that answer in my top five. Then again, having seen so many examples of overstuffed garages, where walking is akin making your way through a minefield, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised.

Garages are dangerous places. It's smart to understand the full extent of those dangers, and then to take some steps to minimize them. Tips and Resources for Keeping Your Garage Safe and Secure is a good first step in toward those ends.
