He should also wear safety goggle as opposed to safety
glasses. Also a
full face shield come in handy too using any wheeled
tool.

and a hard hat? safety vest? steel toe shoes with
metatarsals? A cup? Neck brace?

Not all that other stuff, but got to go with Joe on the
eye
protection. In my industrial life the number one, by far,
OSHA
recordable incident was "foreign body in the eye".


Yes, I like both my eyes. I was wearing glasses, w/ side
shields. I was on my back, the piece bounced up in somehow.

Can happen, it has to me twice in 30+ years. Both times no real damage. A
riccochet off the cheek bone, bounce off the *inside* of the glasses, and into
the eye.

These days for serious grinding I wear a full face shield and the protective
glasses over my prescription glasses. The full face shield cuts down those low
angle bounces off the face.
