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.

I use the full shield when I'm wearing a respirator,
otherwise my glasses tend to fog up.

I use the full latex shield when I'm probing a homunculator,

Hmm, I find I get less fogging with a full face shield than the protective
glasses.

BTW, new Elliott universal horizontal mill with univ vertical head landed in
the barn Friday. A 20' container load of heavy machine tools arrives tomorrow,
all going to plan.

Nice little cash job for the truck driver. I know that a job's worth paying
for.

After that, gotta decide where they all go for the floorplan. New 3 phase line
went in last week.

Might post some pix later. My milling machine has more mass than Bobby's boat!

Coincidentally, the Elliott compressor ( 13' X 20') I was to
haul today didn't pass final inspection, so,I'm going
sailing.

Love those 'cash jobs'.

I get good repeat service :-)

Sure. First, I know how to use it. Second, it'd make a wonderful mooring block
if it ever crapped out.

Back injuries.
Eyes come in a close second, and much much harder to fake too.

Happens fairly often, fortunately those chips & splinters lose a lot
of energy bouncing around before they hit your eye.

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.

Yeah, and we all know how reliable that is.
