I'm curious what kind of PPE you would expect to see?

[dogsbody]

umm eye protection at least - wasnt til half way through after he had had his eyes washed out did he put on some goggles

No ammount of protection will do anything for you when working with them sizes of comp as more than likely you will be wiped out no matter what though a minimal level of protection should be used like gloves, eye protection, respirator, cotton overhauls, anti-static wristband etc.
