In building construction, 3 common safety issues are always present, eye protection, hearing protection and fall protection. I used to conduct safety meetings, for eye protection I would compare an olive with a toothpick through it, to the unprotected human eye. Its that simple, if there is any risk, wear the appropriate and or approved protection. I used to cringe when I would see a person cutting a bundle of metal studs with a chop saw, no hearing protection, no eye protection...
Another reminder, how about when charging a battery, or dealing with same, eye protection and hearing protection may just save both of your main components, if it were to detonate, if the vent is clogged or conditions are right, same with inflating a tire. I keep ear plugs in my pocket at all times, in a small round case and wear safety sunglasses most of the time, more so during the warmer months, I keep spare in the tool chest, have one drawer dedicated to odds and ends, including safety apparel.
Makes me cringe when I see someone using a string trimmer, no safety glasses, like my neighbor, really calls for a face shield, I get hit all the time in the face, stings like heck, your eye won't fare as well as your skin. I should get a face shield, and wear safety glasses under that too.
Another one is while working in the brush, vegetation and similar, or cutting wood, chainsaw is loud, and theres always something flying, branches poking at you. I had a multiflora, pricker, rose bush, the stuff deer actually eat, run across my face and eyes while on the tractor at dusk, thought I had a scratched cornea, was a couple years back, thankfully not, healed up. I got the loader bucket into the roots of those bushes, which were on an embankment, dug em all out and transplanted them across the power line easement to each side of the gate as a natural fence, atv'ers just love that !

Many owners of tractors travel long distances to attend these shows and they usually take their restored iron along with them. Safe trailering practices and inspections will ensure that the event is a fun one. A good habit to develop when using a trailer is to give that �quick look over� before taking it on a trip.
