I can see where Fred is only required when welding or similar, so maybe it should not be a room level precaution but specific to tools like welders?

| *** Some other equipment prohibits the use of gloves. I think this section should only have the requirement for the whole room, e.g. respirators in the woodworking room. I can't think of any hazard in this room like that, short of the facility-wide requirement to wear steel toed shoes.

Safety
There are many things happening in this room that could hurt bystanders as well as operators (fumes, blinding lights, noise). Always be vigilant when working in this room: alert any bystanders if your work could harm them, and be aware that other people may start doing hazardous work at any time. Metal will be hot after certain operations (welding, forging, turning); do not touch random metal that's lying around (especially on the welding table) unless you know it is safe (use an IR thermometer to check).
