My business neighbour makes and refurbishes pallets. They do thousands a week. The boss always insists they were ppe as they use saws and nail guns.
As a hobby he knocks up planters and garden furniture etc. He was pulling out some nails with a traditional claw hammer. Nail went straight in his eye. Swansea has a specialist eye dept at a local hospital. They said he was very lucky not to lose his eye. Will take months to heal properly. Sods law he never usually uses a claw hammer either.
Who would have thought of it with such a simple tool? I always wear safety glasses but never would have thought of it using a claw hammer!
Take care everyone it can happen so easily!
