At the Jobsites all over the U.S., Personal Protective Equipment is a requirement.
Whether its use is driven by OSHA, the General Contractor and or the employer, Compliance has become a important part of Life on the Job. Much is the case while working at home and in the shop. Most of us wear safety glasses, gloves and other types of PPE depending on the activity. Recently in addition to safety glasses many companies are also requiring safety shields/visors in addition....if a cut off disc explodes on you...this is what could happen.  This and other recent injuries regarding high rpm cutoff wheels disintegrating have caused me to rethink what I do to stay safe at home....Making sure all the guards are on the grinders which includes buying good quality cut off discs, Welding gloves that are not full of holes, Fire extinguisher charged-ready and so on. I am Looking for additional ideas regarding what those of you use or rules you follow to stay safe while enjoying your hobby at home..... any pointers or suggestions will be welcomed. |

What ever. Shit is sticking out of his face. Shop safety is nothing NEW. I am no stranger to work place safety. You seem bound and determined to present what ever pops into your head. Silence speaks volumes at times.
