Construction Safety 101
July 15, 2017 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
From the Austin Habitat for Humanity ReStore –
Are you about to start a home renovation or beautification project? We have the class for you!
Our VP of Construction is hosting a class on construction safety that can either be used out on a site or just around the house.
He’ll take you through do’s and don’ts, as well as walk you through why certain safety features exist on things like circular saws.
This class is free and open to the public!
About the Habitat for Humanity ReStore:
The ReStore (located on W. Ben White Boulevard) accepts donations of new and used building materials, furniture, appliances, and fixtures in working condition from remodeling jobs, business closeouts, contractors, builders, and garage sales. A lot of the time, this means that the ReStore is home to all manner of undiscovered treasure, especially for the DIYer or crafty homeowner. (And if you’ve got other goodies that you’d like to give away, you can drop them off at the ReStore as well. They also accept clothes, shoes, and electronics. They’re basically your one-stop-donation-drop).
Austinites are then able to purchase materials from the ReStore, like you would at a Home Depot or anywhere else. The difference is that 87 cents of every dollar of revenue from the ReStore funds Austin Habitat for Humanity’s programs. This means that when you shop at or donate to the ReStore, you help build a better, more affordable Austin. (Plus the ReStore roof is covered in solar panels!).
