Re: Safety Animation

Congratulation 375 on an outstanding animation.


That said, I'd like to warn teams about one thing they mentioned in their animation. Please only wear safety gloves when welding/brazing/forging or other similar activities. Gloves remove sensation from your hands and pose entanglement issues, and should be avoided when possible.

* NO LOOSE CLOTHING.
Ties, scarves, loose sleves, etc. are prohibited
* NO GLOVES
* REMOVE JEWELERY
* WEAR APPROPRIATE SHOES
No open toed sandals. Waer shoes that give a sure footing. If you are working with heavy objects, steel tes are reccommended.
