1.11 Individual protection gear
For certain work individual protection gear is required.
Protect your face and eyes: During all work, and specifically work during which your face and
eyes are exposed to hazards, a safety helmet with a face guard should be worn.
Use protective gloves when lifting or handling pieces with sharp edges.
Wear safety shoes when fitting, dismantling or transporting heavy components.
Use ear protection if the noise level (immission) in the workplace exceeds 80 dB(A).

Clean it after every use and once a week.
