Shop Safety

X was quoting Norm Abram and the suggestion, "there is no more important safety rule than to wear these— safety glasses."

Last night while trying to watch a machine's part depositor, instead of placing the part down on the track, it shot it straight out at me. The tiny part headed directly for my left eye, and was deflected by my safety glasses.

I've heard so many tiny things ricochet off my glasses, I can't figure out those folks who choose to wear their glasses on top of their heads. I still wouldn't force safety glasses on people. And sometimes eye patches can be sexy.
