They are cheap insurance for sure. I am the EHS guy at work and people hate it when I walk through the shop. When I find a PPE problem I make a big deal out of it and some, not all of the people challenge the fact we require them. Some will come up with ten reasons why they should not be required in some areas. I can only come up with two assuming they haven't already lost the use of one. I keep a pretty good collection of injury pics on my phone and show them to them. Generally they get it. Some use the old "I can't see through them" story just because they are all beat up. I just tell them we provide them for free and they can get new ones as often as they need. If they require prescription we offer them for free as well to all employees that can provide a prescription. Pretty good gig if you ask me. We also provide mono-goggles, and face shields. All you want. I have boxes full. I even tell people to take them home for the wife and kids. Gloves (nice ones) of all styles and types, hard hats, welding leathers, welding helmets, ear plugs, knee pads, sleeves, respirators, dust masks, you name it and it is all free for the taking. We even give everybody one pair of steel toe shoe's or boots every year for free up to $150.00. Pick out what you want.

I had a long time (35 year) employee get upset the other day when I called him out on a LOTO issue working on a running machine. He held up his hand and told me that the one missing finger he had was the only problem he has ever had in all his years and he knew what he was doing. Really? He lost his finger on a LOTO issue many years ago. I guess he is bullet proof now in his mind.

Greg.
