Workers should wear protective gear, most notably gloves and a face mask. The mask is the one with the glass window on it so as to let them see what they are doing. Gloves should be worn to protect their hands from sparks that could hurt them which could cause even greater damage because they would then use the tool in such a way to hurt themselves.
Workers should wear eye and bodily protection as a way of making sure they are not impacted by these shavings. Burns and blindness could result from being hit by the sparks or the chips, so covering the parts of the body that could be damaged the most is a good idea.
