I do what we call toolbox safety meetings once a week for all the guys in my work deptments. It seamed to be just another waste of time for everyone involved but, the accident rate is down a bunch. Safety glasses are a must, as are gloves. For you painters wear some eye protection when you paint, this is the second most vulnerable area to ingest the nasties. Stay safe so you can live to build another day.

This is one of those "I've done it a thousand times and besides, it's too much trouble to get to the battery". When the battery cable comes into contact with the steel fuel line, this happens.
I now have a master disconnect located under the hood for the next time. It would have been worse if I hadn't had a 20 year old fire extinguisher handy. It actually worked.

I had the same prob a few yrs back when i was grinding some carbon steel tubing. I had shield on but when i would lift shield up the shaving would fall back onto my forehead and into eyes. After a lot of irritation I also went to doc and he plucked and drilled all shavings out of both eyes I had patches on both eyes for 2 days blind as a bat. I would prever if doing alot of grinding underneath use goggles and shield. I know its uncomfortable, but hell it will save the doc visits and alot of pain..
