Experiencing a fall from a ladder can be painful (as anyone who\u2019s been through it can testify), and fires don\u2019t typically extinguish themselves with a polite request. This safety series, Equipment Safety Essentials, aims to introduce you to the correct usage of some of the most crucial equipment you might encounter regularly.<\/p>\n<p>You may have operated some of this equipment before, but that doesn\u2019t guarantee you\u2019ve been doing it correctly. You might know someone who attempted to cut a full sheet of plywood solo in their garage without securing it with clamps or a sturdy table.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps that \u201csomeone\u201d is you.<\/p>\n<p>But hold on. You\u2019re imagining these videos to be a series of monotonous lectures, aren\u2019t you? You couldn\u2019t be more mistaken! Safety doesn\u2019t have to be a dreary topic. After all, there\u2019s no rule against enjoying a laugh while learning about safety measures.<\/p>\n<p>So, we\u2019ve infused these videos with plenty of amusing sketches and memorable quotes to keep you engaged. Our objective is your safety, and we wouldn\u2019t be fulfilling our duty if you met your end due to sheer boredom.<\/p>\n<p>So, prepare yourself to dive into our Equipment Safety Essentials series. Here at The Jeff Havens Company, we deliver serious solutions with a touch of humor.<\/p>\n<p><b><br \/><\/b><\/p>\n<div class=\"title-bar\"><b>COURSE TOPICS<\/b><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><b>Upon completion of this course, you will have acquired knowledge on:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Properly carrying, ascending, and descending a ladder<\/li>\n<li>Using a two-wheeled handcart safely (even over steps and curbs!)<\/li>\n<li>Using a fire extinguisher to douse a fire<\/li>\n<li>Safely operating various commonly-used power tools<\/li>\n<li>The risks of distracted driving and how to avoid it<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b><u><br \/><\/u><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><u>This course also delves into the following topics:<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>S\u00e9curit\u00e9 des \u00e9chelles<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You\u2019ve probably come across videos of people tumbling off ladders, and images of people stacking ladders on top of each other. We all find it amusing to watch people doing silly things. But we&#8217;d prefer if you didn&#8217;t join the club. This video will guide you through the basics of ladder safety, and you\u2019ll also discover the 5 worst ways to spend your day. Spoiler: One of them involves the Backstreet Boys. Curious about the connection between the Backstreet Boys and ladder safety? You\u2019ll have to watch the video to find out!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>How to Use A Two-Wheeled Handcart<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This video will ensure you\u2019re able to operate a handcart safely without causing harm to yourself, others, or the object you\u2019re transporting.

It\u2019s because we excel at what we do.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>How to Use a Fire Extinguisher<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Our hope is that you\u2019ll never find yourself in a situation that requires a fire extinguisher. But if you do, it\u2019s crucial to know how to use one correctly. Simply throwing it at a fire won\u2019t suffice. This video demonstrates the wrong and right ways to use a fire extinguisher. And you might even see some s\u2019mores, who knows?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Power Tool Safety<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Power tools are a marvelous invention.

This video is designed to ensure you use your power tools safely. This video also includes some killer dance moves. You\u2019ll see what we mean when you watch it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>How to Avoid Distracted Driving<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cars are an amazing invention. They transport us to our destinations much faster than walking. However, they can also crash into walls, trees, and other cars. This video will help ensure you use your car for its intended purpose and not the latter scenario. You\u2019ll also see the most incredible vehicle you can imagine. A McLaren? A Ferrari? Even better, trust us.
