Hearing Protection
People don't often think of noise as a danger, but many power tools generate harmful noise levels. Some endanger hearing after only thirty minutes of exposure.

Eye and Face Protection
Safety glasses and goggles are perhaps the easiest safety gear to use, and yet people often neglect to wear them. Although safety glasses give good general protection, goggles are preferred and can be worn over prescription eye glasses. Use them when sawing, drilling, grinding, chiseling, and filing, and whenever dust, chips, or dangerous liquids might get into your eyes.
Goggles come in three basic types. Those with standard vents protect your eyes from flying objects and dust. Goggles with baffled vents or no vents protect against splashing liquids as well.
For complete protection of your eyes and face, use a face shield. Shields are adjustable and guard against both flying objects and splashes.
