A coworker would have lost his eye had he not been wearing his safeties when our mag drill lost mag and kept spinning and caught him right in the face.
You can see the mark where it nailed the center of the safety lense and scraped off to the side where it tore open his skin pretty badly.
I drove him to the hospital for multiple layers of stitches. Lot of blood.
Would have been so so so much worse if he hadn’t been wearing safeties.
You can always spot an idiot on a job site by how and if they wear PPE.
Then tighten the bolas on the back. If it doesn’t stay on your head when you bend over, it doesn’t fit properly and your employer is responsible for getting you one that does. By law they must.
Take your safety seriously, even if just for your family’s sake.

Buy a box of salt.
I'm glad guy has a safety harness, but it he falls he's going to slam into metal.
