Anyone hear of PPE like chaps,Hardhat-any safety item at all?!?!
Tell me about it!
CAL-OSHA and the local municipal gov't. I worked for was hot on PPE and I'm glad. I'm 69 now (retired at 55) and after 31 years of doing what I did I still have all my fingers, both eyes, VERY minimal hearing loss and no more issues in hands and arms as the next guy my age. I still wear my hearing protection when I mow grass, use string trimmer, operate tractor and especially at shooting range/plinking. My wife think I have hearing loss, accuses me all the time of not hearing her. I tell her "...hey, just because I don't listen to you doesn't mean I can't hear you!"
I see young men all the time, especially in summer, mowing grass and using string-trimmers all day, 5-6 days a week with ZERO hearing and/or sight protection and I think to myself...yeah, may not look cool or 'macho' now but one day you'll wish you had!
