What is one safety measure to take when using a drill?

Ensuring the work area is clear of hazards is a fundamental safety measure when using a drill. A cluttered environment can lead to accidents, as tools, materials, or debris can easily interfere with the drilling process, causing injuries. By maintaining a clean workspace, you minimize the risk of tripping, dropping tools, or hitting unintended objects while operating the drill.

Additionally, a clear area allows for better visibility and access, making it easier to focus on the task at hand. This helps in maintaining control over the drill and reduces the likelihood of accidents. Overall, taking the initiative to keep the work area organized directly contributes to a safer drilling experience.
