Don't Forget the Safety Glasses When Measuring!

Hey guys, just a reminder to wear your safety glasses when using measuring tapes or lasers. I know it sounds silly, but I had a tape snap back and nearly took my eye out last week. Lucky I had my glasses on. Stay safe out there!

Good tip Sarah! I've had a few close calls too. I always wear my safety glasses now, even for quick measurements. You never know when a tape might bite you.

Absolutely. And for laser measures, make sure you're not pointing them at anyone's eyes. I've seen people get flashblind. It's no joke. I always tell my crew to treat them like a gun - never point at a person.

Ha! Bob, I treat mine like a gun too, but my wife says I'm just paranoid. Better safe than sorry. Also, pro tip: get a tape with a magnetic tip. Less chance of it slipping and whipping back. Stay safe!
