Garage Safety

[carkrazy1987]

a little something me and a few co-workers/buddies discussed this past week, when i had a near disaster incident in the shop.

i live alone, in an urban area, homes pretty spaced apart, and i do work on my vehicle quite often at home, while alone. and the other night while i luckily had a friend over while working on my truck, had a jack slip while lifting to install stands, and it made us think about how dangerous it could be sometimes working on your vehicle. a small laps of judgement can mean a bad ending.

the whole point to this, is you guys out there alone, what do you do to remain safe when in the shop alone. if something where to happen while im in the shop, there is a possibility i would not be "found" for a few days. even one of my co-workers said he works on his vehicle at home, and his wife maybe out for 2-3hrs. i always have my cell phone on me, and do practice a safe work environment, but accidents do happen.

any thoughts?
