A:
Don't have loose clothing (long sleeves, etc) or wear jewelry while operating a machine. It doesn't take much imagination to understand what might happen if your sleeve gets caught on a piece of metal spinning in a lathe, for example.

Pockets belts skirts and ties. They get caught in everything from moving machine parts to venting fans in the back of the tools you use. Also awareness of people around you.
People dont realize they are walking through a dangerous area when they pass tools and you often have to stop because they are acting carelessly

A:
Without further information concerning the material type, size, tolerance to spec's, etc, How about the use, care, and necessity of having the micrometers, your measuring and testing equipment(M&TE) recalibrated and documented. Do you ever use torque wrenches? Torque wrenches are the most neglected, and most commonaly deficient of all of the m&te. All m&te must be calibrated, and systemadically recalibrated, in the event of heavy usage, dropage, "lost for a-while", large variences in the environmental conditions, etc. Also, all m&te ,to maintain traceability, must be calibrated by a tested and certified person.
Enough of this?
