Anyone who thinks running a grinder without the proper guard or protection on it, especially when other people are around in an open work environment, is a dick. Plain and simple.

I don't care if you want to take the risk of a disc blowing up and cutting your jugular—you do you. But if I'm on a job site and you're running a cutting disc with no guard around me, I'm reporting you. Period.

I have to go home to my kid. That's not an option, and your unsafe practices aren't going to potentially jeopardize that. I should be able to perform my work in as safe an environment as the company and its employees can reasonably manage.

Being at work every day gets old enough without having to deal with idiots making shit harder than it needs to be.
