Safety Policy
This platform publishes instructions people act on with their hands. Safety framing is not decoration — it is the product.
Risk classification
Every guide and project carries a risk level. Low: mistakes cost money or rework (painting, shelving). Medium: mistakes can cause injury or property damage (drain work, tile cutting, ladder use). High: mistakes can cause serious injury, fire or structural failure — electrical, gas, structural modification, work at height, hazardous materials.
The professional boundary
High-risk work belongs to licensed professionals, and we say so plainly in the content — including electrical wiring, gas appliances, load-bearing walls, roofing at height, and complex plumbing. Where local codes require permits or licensed trades, we direct readers to their local authority. goHome Craft publishes education for understanding, never execution instructions for high-risk work by unqualified readers.
Protective equipment
Guides list required PPE — eye protection, hearing protection, respirators, gloves — as part of the content, not as an afterthought. Tool guides include the safety habits specific to that tool.
Emergency reality check
If you smell gas, leave and call your gas utility. If a breaker trips repeatedly, buzzes or smells hot, stop using the circuit and call a licensed electrician. No project is worth overriding that instinct.
