What are the most important safety aspects of bells and ringing?
Heavy masses of moving metal must not be treated unadvisedly, lightly, or wantonly. In a nutshell, it’s important that access to the bells is restricted only to those who know what they’re doing: the tower should never be left unlocked; bells and bellropes should only be touched by experienced ringers or by learners with an instructor; builders or workmen should always be accompanied; and people should not be in the tower alone.
