WAYWT - The Hard Labour Edition aka "Working in your workwear".

[zhivago]

it's a work smarter situation IMO. Want your knees to hold up, might be smart to work in kneepads. Want lungs, ears, and eyes that serve you well long into life, protect em. To each their own though…

Agreed @zhivago . @RoxRocks86  is the resident pro here and I’m pretty sure she always has her protective gear on….

[dinobarnesberlin]

I totally agree as well–- ask the pros and they will almost always wear the protective gear.
Im not even sure what it is with SOME people---almost like they look at safety as a sign of weakness or something?
I will never understand that weird wiring.

I always wear a mask and ear defenders. My mate who I work with refuses to wear a mask because he would have to take his fag out of his mouth. [emoji23]
Some people just don’t care.

I don’t like knee pads much, I prefer to kneel on a piece of foam.

I have a pair of Blåkladder's high end work pants that have a pocket that takes knee pads and holds them where they should be. That is the only time I use them, otherwise, a bit of foam is my preferred solution too.

I say you should only protect the things you want to keep…

[RoxRocks86]

Honestly, all props go to a good amount of the guys I've met & worked alongside over the years (especially when I first started) who not only advocated safety first but set the example. They definitely regret being stupid & reckless when they first started & every day is a reminder of that. Least to say, their stories left a lasting impression on me.

For the most part I always wear hearing protection & N95 for any job I'm on. When necessary that includes hi-vis, hard hat, respirator, gloves, boots, & eye protection. I do admit to rarely using knee pads unless I'm actually doing flooring tho

Glad to see you’re still the queen of this thread! Can you tell me where you got that face mask? I’ve been looking for more masks that don’t go around the ears.

Hey @sabergirl  https://rzmask.com/ it’s a reusable mask that requires filters. I found the double strap version way more comfortable than the single strap one, but most likely due to the fact that it didn’t fit me correctly.

[sabergirl]

Cool. Thanks.

I had bad luck with the RZ masks. Both the single and double strap ones fit badly- either the metal nose piece was down around the tip of my nose and interfering with my breathing, or the edges were up in my eyes and interfering with my vision.  Too bad; they're pretty well made.

Oh, I don't know how you're planning to use them, @sabergirl, but they have unfiltered exhalation valves, which makes them non-Covid compliant.

[sabergirl]

I saw the valves and decided to steer clear. Thanks, Chris
