Among the dangers of tool use, is the risk of being shocked or electrocuted. The worker who submitted this photo did not check to see if the cable he was about to cut was live. A few seconds later he got his answer. Thankfully the worst he got was a shock and was not fatally wounded.
In the second image, the worker who submitted it said his safety glasses saved his sight when this drill bit snapped and flew up in his face.
Correct use, safe work practices, and PPE are a must when using tools!
