I even got him behind a welding helmet to try it out, after that we didn't have a problem. He even used part of the safety budget to buy new equipment for the lab to keep it in tip-top shape.

The problem with that is its not the issue of safety. We got all the equipment, the paper work, and approval of those who would do the safety check. Its the school board who is saying no and we are having difficulty changing their minds.
