I have a tip that I use at home every day. I have a little stretchy bracelet that I hang on my iron. I put it on my right arm when I turn the iron on and put it back on the iron when I turn it off. I learned the hard way when I left the iron on and threw down a quilt top that I was working on. I happened to fall over the tip of the iron and burned a few squares. Fortunately,it only charred it badly. I had to replace 3 squares. Could have set the place on fire. Now I use that bracelet religiously!
