Though I honestly don't like those goggles she was wearing.
They're too cumbersome for wearing all the time,

Personally, I prefer (and wear) full face shields like this 3M unit:

Easy to clean (not a lot of small nooks and crannies to collect junk), great
peripheral visibility, no fogging, more comfortable, and easy to raise/lower
without removing from head. But most importantly, they protect the entire
face from flying swarf (and possible high-speed projectiles which I would
not want to catch in my mouth or other part of my face).


and when hung up they invariably wind up lenses down, which
means they collect all kinds of swarf, dust, and junk.
....
In my shops glasses are kept in clean zip-lock bags to prevent
the 'eyefull of crap' effect.

I store my respirators in zip lock bags (after cleaning and air-drying), but
I simply hang my face shields. The shields hang nicely with the
polycarbonate lens in a vertical orientation so they hardly collect any
dust.


I think that lady was doing just fine at her machine.

Following this thread, I've been reluctant to criticize her (after all, I
did ask for the pictures). But I have to admit, seeing the long sleeves and
open jacket front hanging into the lathe did make me instinctively cringe.
I'll graciously assume that she was just keeping warm while setting up the
job, and removed her jacket before powering-up the machine.

In any case, I wouldn't take the other poster's comments as vindictive or
nasty, but rather as constructive (and instructive) criticism. I'm sure we'd
all like to see this fine young lady machinist maintain her health (and all
her limbs!) so that she can continue making chips well into the future.
