Safety Awareness Week 2011 is upon us again. A couple years ago, Marc Spagnuolo set aside a week to focus on safety issues in the shop and now it is a recurring event, much like National Backup Day and equally without a plethora of useless Hallmark cards.
In this video, I go over a couple things I have in my shop to keep me counting to 10 with my shoes on. Some are original ideas (that I know of) and some were stolen for the better good of my digits.
Safety is boring, kinda like backing up your personally penned haiku collection, but not nearly as boring as reading last year's Field & Stream in the ER waiting room.
If you have other suggestions, please add them in the comments!

Naturally, I like woodworking as a hobby, but an ice hockey tournament will easily get me out of the shop :)

Hi Paul,
I bought the boom arm recently because I kept tripping/standing on the hose and cables, I shouldn't of underestimated how much safer my assembly room is now with the edition of this add on.
Nice video, Paul-Marcel. I think you covered just about everything.
Thanks for the boom arm mention too (my secrete confession, even though they only take about 10 minutes to make, I only have one).
Paul,
Excellent video. The in-feed table idea i have not seen at its simple to make and setup!
-David.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO FART?!
Great info, Paul. I hadn't really thought about body position and the bandsaw. You might have saved me in the future.
Off camera, Brian, off camera! :)
Thanks, Vic... my injury paranoia keeps me from getting into places like that. The day the blade snapped, I was happy I wasn't standing there (of course when a Resaw King snaps, you first cry, then think about that!)
