Hey Max!
wrote in message ups.com... 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". Back injuries. Eyes come in a close second, and much much harder to fake too. Yes, I like both my eyes. I was wearing glasses, w/ side shields. I was on my back, the piece bounced up in somehow. Happens fairly often, fortunately those chips & splinters lose a lot of energy bouncing around before they hit your eye. PDW wrote: 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. Problem is that after about 5 minutes you can't see thru all the safety clutter (or at least I can't). Then safety becomes a matter of patience to clear things up. The most important piece of safety gear is right between the operator's ears. DSK Yeah, and we all know how reliable that is. |
