Glad nothing serious, but potential. Three things to consider with PPE and working on cars.
1, Wear safety specs as described above not just when grinding but also when lying under your car and looking up. Just asking for something to fall in your eye otherwise.
2, wear gloves if you're going to get oily or greasy, these substances can cause dermatitis which can be progressive and horrendous in some cases. Surgeons type gloves are fine and you can buy a box of 100 for a few quid or cheaper online. Same with brake fluids etc, and diesel! Always use the free gloves when filling up a diesel.
3. Don't put oily rags in your pocket for convenience, there's a strong link between this action and cancer of the !Removed!, as the oil seeps through pocket linings. And you don't want that! Obviously this advice is for the lads but I would imagine it's not s good idea if you're a girl to do it either.
That's it, done my safety bit now, and I'm not even getting paid for it.
