DIY harm hits home By KANE YOUNG, The Mercury, AU
DO-IT-YOURSELF home renovation disasters are leaving a trail of bruised and battered bodies across Tasmania.
The Royal Hobart Hospital's accident and emergency department is copping the brunt of home makeovers gone wrong with staff treating an unprecedented number of serious injuries caused by nail guns, grinders and power saws.
The rash of handyman injuries has prompted a warning to renovators from the hospital's emergency medicine director Alastair Meyer to adhere strictly to safety procedures for power tool and ladders.
And the Royal Australian Institute of Architects also has weighed in with advice, calling on amateur builders to remain alcohol-free on the worksite.------------------------------------------- posted 9:56 PM :: reference link ::
