How about hearing problems? ...Does anyone have anything to share on that?
That actually spurred my desire to use more PPE. After working construction for only a year, I had noticable hearing loss and I wasn't even in my 20's. Now I carry ear-plugs in a vial on my key-chain. Any sound loud enough to cause even mild discomfort, and those plugs go in my ears.
And I've seen enough older guys with stooped backs and creaking knees to invest in a good set of knee-pads and to always be sure I lift with my legs.
