I always read the owners manual, wore safety glasses, wore ear plugs, steel toed shoes and always buckled the seat belt. Made my parents wear them too. People that say "huh" now teased me about wearing ear plugs around machinery.
I even repaired a stuck safety belt on a rental escavator while paying rental fees . Glad I did, the machine rolled when the ditch bank collapsed. There was nowhere to jump and no time to jump. The seat belt prevented getting crushed.
I use a torque wrench and anti-seize after inspecting fasteners. It saves twisted off nuts/bolts/studs and reduces the battle in the future to disassemble.
Before purchasing something I research the topic. Before going on a trip I study the local maps. And learn some of the local history and customs. We pack some basic medical supplies too. Our carry on bags contain the essentials so even if out main luggage is lost we will still enjoy out trip. We keep our Hep A & B vaccinations up to date.
I don't like surprises or getting hurt. I could never understand how most of my classmates etc thought they were immortal during their teens. Watched some get buried and others have to get married.
Before starting a job at work, home or elsewhere . I take a few moments to walk around and look things over. I've seen to many people just blindly jump in there and go. Too many people are the classic type found dead 3,4 5 at a time in a pit. The 1st worker(s) or two go down due to toxic gas or low oxygen. The genius's who find the 1st victims rush in there and become victims as well.
My house has a wet fire sprinkler system and an alarm system that senses heat, smoke, low temps, high temps, CO, CO2 and gas. The alarm system is both land line and radio link backed up. There is a standby generator and several weeks food in the cupboards and freezer. The vehicles are both 4x4 and shod with the best winter tires that Michelin manufactures. Both vehicles are modern with anti-lock brakes and air bags. The vehicles are larger and heavier than most others on the road. The larger vehicle wins in a crash.
I carry enough insurance my family will be well looked after should something happen. I go to church so when something does happen I won't spend eternity wishing I had prepared.
