Safety

[LS short box]

Eye protection is something that is over looked. First time I was a line tech at a Chev dealer ship. I was replacing an exhaust system. Hit it with an air hammer and all manner of rusty dust in my eyes. The eye doc said I was lucky as all the rusty metal can be pulled out with a magnet. Second time was when I was cleaning up my shop and hanging up the broom and a bunch of metal stuff came out of the broom and into my eyes. Same doc said you haven't learned yet?
Welding wise my welding table is 20 feet from any flammable stuff. I keep all gas cans/propane tanks in another building.
I always wear leather gloves as I grind anything or weld anything. Safety glasses underneath the welding helmet.
Sand blasting wise always a 3M twin intake mask along with a safety glasses and a full length face shield.
