    this was covered as one of my main points in my original post,,
    never do anything,,  especially get up,, with a tool in your hand.
    Everyone has a list of preventative and injury eliminative measures
    that they adhere to from bad experiences,,, i suggested that people
    post their lists for the newbies, but no one has,, original post: 

    a few tips: Never bend over with very hot, or sharp things in your
    hands, like soldering pics, tweezers, sharp knives 

    Never walk to somewhere with a sharp instrument in your hands, always
    leave it on the workspot 

    Never get so emotionally pent up or caught up in a buisness venture
    incident, that you lose contact with your surroundings, like when
    driving a car, or walking, soldering, cutting,, tending your child
    etc. 

    Always place your hands firmly down and solid, and have a planned
    escape route, or hold,, that avoids cutting you when operating ALL
    tools, electric, or hand,,, knives, chisels,, burs, bandsaws,
    chainsaws etc. 

    Always wear the goggles, even when you don't feel like it,, it could
    be the last chance 

    Never inhale any shop gasses, or dusts,, and don't guess on it,, know
    what's happening, and where fumigants?? are going,, including when
    they leave your shop!!, be considerate 

Be extremely careful as a plan,,,dp
