Safety

I worked around heavy machinery all my life.
Mills, Lathes, punch press (20 to 100 tons), saws, sharp sheet metal, grinders, the list goes on and on.

One thing I regret is ear protection, a cutoff wheel cutting sheet metal will do a number on you. Also I had one kick back on me, busted my knuckle and twisted up my T shirt in it on my chest. I should have moved the ladder over before doing the last cut.

I'm sure everyone here has some kind of solvent (BOMB) in there work space, I keep mine across the room from welding, duh, until you forget to put it back.

With out being gruesome tell a story or tip about safety.?
