           IF  THIS  TREND  CONTINUES  IT’S  ONLY  A  MATTER  OF  TIME  BEFORE  A
           CUSTOMER  OR SMALL  CHILD  COMES INTO CONTACT WITH A BLADE!

           We do not know who left these knives / blades BUT it is likely to be contractors. It is
           easy  to  misplace  or  forget  about  hand  tools.  We  urge  all  our  contractors  to  be  extra
           vigilant and follow this simple guidance:
