RE: Personal Protection
I think ppe is a personal thing.....tis my pet hate....I ride my motorcycle on occasion in hot weather wearing just jean's a t/shirt lightweight summer gloves , sunglasses , open face helmet and trainers........the ppe Nazi's go into apoplexies....I just ride accordingly(slower,bigger gaps and gentler) I think the same applies here , minimise all your risks , be your own keeper , ppe can severely hinder your movement/enjoyment sturdy clothing is a good idea but beyond that then I don't feel the need for general purpose ppe...specific ppe yes...climbing then a harness gloves and a helmet would be a good idea , clearing/searching a building ... body armour, helmet,visor/goggles and gloves would be good etc
Nothing is fool proof for a sufficiently talented fool!!!!
