DIY health and safety

DIY is a more popular now than it has ever been. As it is a good way of saving money, so homeowners are resorting to trying out new skills to improve their own homes, avoiding costly contractors in the process.

However, there is a downside to relying on oneself to complete tasks. In the UK, some 220,000 DIY enthusiasts end up in A&E every year in need of treatment for cuts, breaks, falls and concussions.
