I've taken a lot of safety briefings at the different places I've worked at, and one thing that was emphasized was using the correct tool for the task, e.g., use a stepladder to get to a top shelf instead of pushing your office chair over to the shelf and standing on that.treadlightly wrote:Not a bad video, since it at least mentioned fighting with (improvised) weapons.
This should also be applicable to self-defense; we should be allowed (if not encouraged) to use the correct tool instead of repurposing some scissors or a stapler or something to do a task for which they weren't designed.
