Got the five by luck. Two set of protection over eyes a bit much really I think. All was worried aboout all that wiring hanging around. But the big thing is the turkey holding the turning tool. He looks s#&t scared and not confident at all.

I've worked as a fitter & turner in heavy manufacture including the BHP & Rio Tinto workshops at Dampier, Port Hedland and Cape Lambert and have never heard of double eye protection as being mandatory. I will say that it's been about 6 years since I left the trade and things may have changed.
Personally I don't wear safety glasses when turning as I find they fog up, the face shield however has plenty of ventilation and rarely fogs up (maybe I'm just an unusally heavy breather ).To grow old is inevitable.... To grow up is optional
Confidence, the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
What could possibly go wrong.

Like others, I was clicking for a respirator and got the safety glasses thing. No harm in a second line of defence on the eyes, if you are so inclined. I'm not, but do always wear a face shield. However, I consider it negligent to omit a respirator.
Having got the 'required' five I then kept looking at the position of that banjo/toolrest and the height of that right hand, which are all wrong IMO. He is referred to as a woodworker, not a woodturner, so they got that bit right!Stay sharp and stay safe!
