Last week I was happily sewing by machine when suddenly the needle broke and a part of it jumped into my eye. Luckily, it didn't nail (prick?) the eye pupil, it was only a blow which caused a spill. Now I'm fine, but I had to wear 'mafia' sunglasses for a week (I didn't want to scare the children with my 'zombie' eye in Christmas
).
Well, now I've learnt the lesson... so I've purchased security glasses for sewing and I recommend everyone to do the same.
I don't want to learn 'the hard way' again, so I thought it would be good to collect some useful tips for keeping us safe at work.

Can you think of something else? I know that most tips can be obvious or common sense, but they are worth remembering.
