Frequently asked safety questions

We believe that an informed customer is a safe customer. Here, we address the most common and critical questions regarding equipment safety to help you minimize risks and maximize efficiency on your projects.

Why is safety so important when using tools and equipment?
Safety is critical because tools and equipment can cause serious injuries or costly job site delays if they’re not used properly. For our customers, safe equipment helps protect workers, reduce risk, and keep projects running smoothly without accidents or shutdowns.

What are the most important things to know to stay safe?
  • Use the tool only as intended and follow all operating instructions.
  • Wear proper safety gear (PPE) required for the tool and job site.
  • Inspect the equipment before use and don’t use it if something looks damaged or unsafe.
  • Make sure the work area is clear and stable before operating any tool.
  • Stop using the tool if something feels wrong and contact us right away.

Are there common mistakes to avoid when using rented equipment?
Yes—there are a few common mistakes and dangers people should absolutely avoid when using rented equipment:
  • Skipping inspections: Always inspect equipment before use. Using damaged or worn tools can lead to serious injuries.
  • Using equipment improperly: Tools should only be used for their intended purpose—no makeshift fixes or overloads.
  • Ignoring safety gear: Failing to wear proper PPE (eye protection, gloves, fall protection, etc.) greatly increases risk.
  • Bypassing safety features: Never disable guards, alarms, or protective devices—they are there to prevent accidents.
  • Not reporting issues: If something feels unsafe or isn’t working right, stop using the equipment and report it immediately.
