Safety glasses must be worn at all times when using the forge (and whenever in the Woodshop and Metalshop Areas).
-
Scale and chips are often shed while working hot metal.
-
Gloves may be worn, but should be loose so that the can be removed quickly in case something hot (scale) gets into them. Also, do not get gloves wet. Grabbing something hot with wet gloves can result in steam burns. Obviously gloves should not be significantly flammable or synthetic, leather is best
-
If you are getting anvils or hammers hot enough to cause burns you are doing something very wrong!

-
Clothes and shoes should not be made of synthetic materials (e.g. nylon) as they can melt and adhere to skin!

Leather or Canvas shoes are good.

Cotton clothes which will burn, rather than melt are best.

Metal that is hot enough to burn you can look like cold metal.
