Financial expert warns: DIY trend can be expensive - DIY accidents cost thousands every year
Drilling, hammering, sawing – nothing has fueled the home improvement trend like the pandemic. And the “do it yourself” boom continues. But what looks so easy in YouTube tutorials sometimes turns out to be painful in practice: the hammer hits your thumb, the chipped tile falls on your head, the drill cuts through a power line and while sawing, fingers suddenly disappear. Every year, around 300,000 do-it-yourselfers have accidents while repairing, renovating and renovating households - one accident every two minutes.
According to a report by rp-online.de,
The current home improvement trend has increased significantly in recent years, especially due to the pandemic. Many people try to do repairs and renovations in their own homes on their own. However, this also leads to an increase in accidents that occur while doing DIY, such as injuries from tools or electric shocks. According to statistics, around 300,000 do-it-yourselfers have accidents every year while working on their own.
The increasing number of DIY accidents can have an impact on various areas. For example, demand for home improvement courses and safety equipment could increase to reduce accident rates. Additionally, insurance companies could adjust their rates and services to better cover do-it-yourselfers. Manufacturers of DIY products could also pay more attention to safety precautions and user-friendliness in order to minimize the risk of accidents.
It is important that DIY enthusiasts are aware of the potential risks and take appropriate precautions to avoid accidents. At the same time, the DIY trend also offers opportunities for companies that offer DIY products and services.
