Great Post!
I worked in steel fabrication for 25 plus years, in shops. All the different equipment running, shears,brakes, drills, welders,grinders, overhead cranes with horns and beepers. Will decrease your hearing. As a result of trying to be safety conscious I always wore ear plugs. I now where plugs while running a buffer, vac, gas pressure washer, generator, lawn mower.weed wacker etc. My little princess is just 11. I want to be able to hear her when I'm older. 51 now and hearing is good because of ppe. Personal Protective Equipment
My advise to everyone protect the ears and eyes. Can't order a new set of either from AG!
