New builders safety tip

[rocketman1988]

I have to chuckle at some of these statements... Safety glasses are a must. Sleeves and gloves? Not a fan...especially around machinery. How many folks wear a watch or ring while working? And how many folks believe ?casual contact? with solvents, especially MEK, is ok? I have a friend that is permanently disabled due to neurological damage caused by contact with MEK. A family friend lost his ring finger while working in the shop. A family member received third degree burns on his wrist when his ss watch band grounded a battery cable.

Be careful out there...0

Fundamental rule of shop safety...ALL jewelry *off*. ALL of it.

Look up "degloving accidents" if you want to be convinced.

You don?t have to convince me...that?s why I said I have to chuckle...

What a coincidence, mine was drilling hinges to the firewall.
