Safety precautions

You deal with a lot of chemicals, like aviation fluids, in this job, and you have to be aware of where the dangers are.

I wear gloves and safety glasses whenever I'm in a situation involving chemicals. I also take care not to breathe in too many fumes or the flakes from filing aluminum or steel.

It may add a few minutes onto the job, but I want to live to a ripe old age so I take all the precautions I can.
