1. Select the correct size screw driver for the job.
2. Don’t carry screw drivers in your pocket.
3. Pass a screw driver to another person handle first.
4. When using a slotting screwdriver, use the correct size blade for the given slot.
5. Don’t use screwdrivers as a pry-bar.
6. Do not use screwdrivers as levers, chisels, or scrapers.
7. Don’t hold the work piece in the palm of the hand while tightening up screws. A slip can result in a serious injury with the blade penetrating the hand or wrist. The work piece should be securely held in a vice or other firm support.
