Funny you say that. I’ve worn glasses since I was 10. Always had glass lenses rather than plastic till about 15 or so years ago. So while not smart…. For quickly jobs I just let my glass glasses be my safety glasses. Always worked. I was working in the parts department rather than service department at the time so it had to be after 1980. I was going to be doing a fairly extensive grinding job on something so I decided to put in the full mask shield.

I watched the spark fly off what I was grinding on….. bounce off my chest….. bounce off the inside of the mask…. Under my prescription glasses…. Into my eye. Fortunately after all that bouncing it didn’t imbed so I got it out pretty easy. But sheesh. Do the right thing and still get shot in the eye.

I know the feeling on that.
I was doing some demo on a chunk of a building that was built in the 30’s, I had my safety glasses on , while using a sawzall, and got so much crap in my eyes.. that I could not see.. it took over 3 hours to get them to work properly again.

No I surely didn’t, but on the way home , I had to stop for an hour, because my eyes were still acting a bit funny in the bright sunlight .

I have to think that it was the asbestos in the plaster, that was common back during the time it was built..

We were all pretty stupid about asbestos and its effects on us. At least after we started learning how dangerous it was/is.

I have been on a roof of a fairly newer bld. That had to have hazmat suits and the full ppg gear on, and have to wait in a different section of the roof. For them to remove all of the roofing that was contaminated with asbestos, this was at the maintenance bld of Northridge college, or as they call it CSUN

Store I worked in for years, the building was built in 1975. Somewhere in the 80s someone felt the need to replace the tile in the showroom and offices. Had to have been the last building ever built where they still used asbestos tiles. Found out they’d have to kick us out for the duration. Tent the building. And in 80s currency it was going to cost a lot of money. We did not do it. I was back in that building 5-6 years ago. Still had the same tile.
