Have some fun with your kids and help them learn proper safety practices by participating in the monthly Kids Workshops at Home Depot.

Kids Workshops are free “How-To Clinics” designed for children ages 5-12. The workshops are offered on the first Saturday of each month between 9:00 a.m. and noon at all The Home Depot stores. Children accompanied by an adult construct projects from pre-fabricated kits. The kits are designed to be both educational and practical.

The Home Depot’s Kids Workshops offer useful projects including the creation of toolboxes, fire trucks and mail organizers, as well as more educational projects, such as a window birdhouse, bughouse or Declaration of Independence frame kit.

The workshops teach children do-it-yourself skills and tool safety, while at the same time helping to instill a sense of accomplishment. Additionally, this fun time allows for quality one-on-one time between adults and children.

In addition to the newly constructed project kit, each child receives a kid-sized orange apron, similar to The Home Depot associates’ aprons, and an achievement pin.

• Since 1997, 12 million projects have been built at Kids Workshops

I’ve come up with several activities where you think you might not need safety glasses but you really should be wearing them.

Gardening:
I was pulling out some shrubs and got a small branch in the eye. Luckily I closed the them in the nick of time. I went straight to the garage and put my safety glasses on.

Cooking:
You wouldn’t think you need them for cooking. I managed to splash some Tabasco sauce in my eye while cooking some chili con carne. Man, I thought I would just about pop. A pair of safety glasses would have saved me a lot of agony.

Running Phone Lines:
I was running some low voltage phone line in the basement of my mother-in-law’s house when the wires came out of my hand and touched my forehead near my eyes. I got the surprise of my life when the sweat created a path for the current. The arced left a black mark and small burn.

These are just a few of the time that I didn’t think of wearing safety glasses and I was lucky I didn’t suffer damage to my vision.

The Moral of the story: Always wear your safety glasses, even if you think you won’t need them.

OSHA published a new rule that will require employers to be responsible for providing employees with personal protection equipment at no cost to the employees.

The ruling will be effective on February 13, 2008 and must be implemented by May 15, 2008.

Exceptions to the rule include ”everyday clothing,” logging boots and certain “non-specialty” safety shoes, prescription safety eyewear and weather-related gear. Employers also don’t have to pay for lost or intentionally damaged PPE.

According to OSHA, the rule’s benefits will far outweigh its costs. OSHA estimates that the rule will result in 21,000 fewer workplace injuries each year. Total benefits are estimated at $228.3 million, with costs estimated at $85.7 million.
