protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or
workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris
generated by various operations .The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating
particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may
cause hearing loss. The gloves must fit well and not be loose, loose gloves could catch in
