Safety instructions for all types of knives
- Always use knives carefully : hold the blade away from your body when cutting.
- Store knives safely : Store knives in a safe place, out of the reach of children.
- Keep the blade sharp : A sharp knife is safer than a blunt one because it cuts better and slips less.
- Hold correctly : Hold the handle firmly and use the correct technique to avoid injury.
- Do not play with knives : Use knives only for their intended purpose, not as toys.
- Be careful when cleaning : Wash knives carefully and keep the blade away from your hands.
Always stay alert and careful!
Addition to the GPSR obligation (irony):
Knives in the hands of the average citizen? A safety risk beyond compare! According to GPSR, end users are basically unable to distinguish between the sharp and the blunt side. Who knows, maybe they try to use the knife the wrong way round or spontaneously cut through power cables with it.
So the message is clear: Only touch a knife if you have completed at least three safety courses, have a supervisor at your side and are aware that tomatoes can be unpredictably slippery. After all, the end user is apparently so incompetent that even a piece of plastic film presents an insurmountable challenge. But don't worry - the GPSR protects you! From yourself.
