Grinding and welding body protection

When engaging in grinding and welding, it's crucial to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to safeguard against the myriad of hazards these activities present. Body protection should consist of oil-free clothing made from heavy materials like wool or cotton, which are less likely to ignite and can resist wear and damage. It's recommended to wear long-sleeved shirts and to ensure that cuffs, pockets, and collars are securely buttoned to cover exposed skin. Foot protection is also important; leather, steel-toed, high-topped boots in good condition can help prevent injuries to the feet and ankles. In environments with heavy spark or slag, fire-resistant boot protectors or leather spats can provide additional protection.
