If you work with tools or equipment in any fashion, use proper personal protective equipment and don’t skip it. If you work around loud noises, use real hearing protection. Hearing loss is irreversible and cumulative. If you work with anything that makes dust or fumes, get a resparator. You can get nasty allergies from sawdust, griding dust gives you lung cancer and a bunch of other horrible shit. If you work with chemicals, use gloves or whatever is required per the sds. Always wear eye protection, you can’t get new eyes. Take care of your skin, if you weld, wear real covers. Skin cancer on welders is a real thing. Use gloves where safe, and don’t where you are using rotating equipment, degloving is a thing. Equipment can’t tell the difference between flesh and workpieces and it doesn’t care.
