We’ve got you!
Four of the Most Common Garage Safety Hazards
Don’t be too hard on yourself if your garage has some of the items on this list! Many of us inherit garages with a whole host of problems when we buy a new home or start renting a place. Awareness is your best safeguard. Check your garage for these common safety hazards today!
- GENERAL CLUTTER: Hanging garage shelving is the most convenient, efficient, and economical way to double or even triple the storage space in your garage. Clutter no longer needs to be an issue when you have our rugged, long-lasting racks professionally and safely installed in your garage. Not only does garage shelving improve safety, it can also massively expand the valuable real estate of your garage.
- ELECTRICAL ISSUES: Whether you have a random lightbulb strung up in a place where a child or pet could reach, or exposed wires in your garage ceiling, electrical issues are an extremely common garage safety hazard. The best way to deal with faulty or exposed wiring is to hire an electrician. Hiring an electrician can help you prevent a major electrical malfunction in your garage.
- SLIPPING & TRIPPING HAZARDS: Neglecting your garage floor can lead to many different slipping and tripping hazards. Make sure any liquids are tightly sealed and properly stored to prevent spillage that could lead to tripping. Check for any pipes running across the ground or sticking out of a wall. Make sure your garage floor doesn’t have any broken or missing chunks. Even general clutter can cause tripping hazards for you or your loved ones. Getting your stored items safely tucked away in overhead racks is a great way to ensure that no one is going to be tripping through your messy garage.
- HAZARDOUS MATERIALS: We addressed this in greater depth in the first installment of our blog series garage safety (read it here!). Improperly stored or expired hazardous materials present a very real danger to your kids or pets. Make sure you always follow manufacturer instructions on proper storage and disposal of hazardous materials.
