workshop safety

[hal 1]

I've just watched an episode of hot rod build up on TV where one of the workforce was using an angle grinder for cutting without protective gloves, goggles, ear protecters or even overalls, working in a T shirt and jeans, I know its his choice but I sometimes wonder if he really thinks of his health at all, I might be going over the top with my opinions but a near miss made me think twice about my own safety
anyone else share my views?

[hal 1]

the idiot dancing round his workshop after setting something on fire was me with pullover on fire after sparks set me on fire, needed clean undies after that one! hence the reason for the leather apron = no more tarzan impressions from me.

I wouldn't dream of telling anyone that I think they're silly not using ppe, they can find that out for themselves and I certainly don't advocate the 'nanny state' type of attitude, it just made me cringe watching the chap doing the job.
