slack safety

[Lawrie]

Just a reminder no to get slack on the safety,
Yesterday I was getting ready to paint my workshop floor with two pack paint,get the tins opened .put my respirator on ,put safety glasses in top pocket tipped paint in , got the drill out with the mixer on,put it in the paint ,turned it on and got a splash of paint in my eye.
Spent 4 hrs in the emergency dept of the hospital.
Lucky, just a chemical burn on my outer eye,not the seeing part .Phew.
Shed is painted and have one red eye.

Safety glasses have saved my eyes many times. Always a good idea to keep em on

Thanks for the tip. So close, yet too far away.

Good reminder. A guy I worked with on computers was doing some home maintenance work. While grinding took some metal bits to the eye. Did a cornea replacement and weeks on his back. Think, think, do. Be safe.


Glad you are!
