Tips on Safe Razor Blade Use:

Don't: Do:  
  • Use your fingers to hold a razor blade.
  • Cut or trim an object you are holding with your other hand.
  • Use the razor blade to cut narrow strips of tape from a larger roll.
  • Get distracted, rush though the job or come to work ill.
  • Use pliers to place the razor blade in a holder designed for cutting.
  • Order appropriate sized tape rather than "jerry rigging" a way to cut the tape.
  • Purchase safety cutters to open boxes.
  • Use proper knives for cutting, not single edged razor.
