As I become more chronologically gifted, I have noticed more minor aches & pains & stiffness. All of which reacts well to aspirin or ibuprofen.
The biggest problem I have is a hearing loss (not severe & probably partially due to age) . When I started, hearing protection was not an issue. So I would add using ear plugs to the list. of PPE
Treat your feet well, when they hurt, so does the rest of your body. Cheap boots just don't cut it.
Treat you knees good too, don't squat when putting in receptacles. This will catch up with you.
I've noticed more sharp edges on electrical equipment in the past few years (maybe its my thin skin), so I've taken to wearing pigskin gloves most of the time. These gloves are so soft, I can still deal with small scres. Everytime I retire a pair, I'm amazed at how many nicks & cuts the gloves have accumulated.
Basically what I think everyone is saying is that if you take care of yourself & not try to be a tough guy, barring an accident, you should be OK.
