Hi Karen,

I don't know what the connection is, must be something phsycological.  There 
was a piece on the news this morning (UK Radio) about the increase in DIY 
related accidents, people falling off ladders, electric shock etc, relative  
to any other time of the year.  And plans for a national campaign each spring 
to point out the safty aspects involved in DIY.  I am not sure of what 
accidents are cause by painting, but it may make for an interesting article 
if you do find a connection. 
Regards,
Stan
