🤣
no.
the best ppe we got was cotton uniforms so when the metal sprayed out (which happened daily) would burn and not melt to our skin.
we also got some pretty nice gloves too for grabbing the parts out of the machines. usually they’d come out around 700° and have to go on cooling racks.

Wtf, were was this at? Assuming not the USA, OSHA would have had a field day with that.

this was about 30 years ago in the US. Back in the 2008 recession the factory closed down and moved to Mexico.
The owner was a typical “nice guy” corpo douchebag. you know the type, nice to your face but profits over people.
I gained a lot of experience from that job that I still use to this day.

Sounds like it. Probably moved to Mexico for the cheaper labor and OSHA violations probably were barreling down on him.
