This is a poll regarding what safeguards you implement when working in the profession of plumbing.

This is a multiple choice poll, it might seem like a given to most of us but I'm seeing/hearing of a great deal of plumbers still "bare handing" a great deal of their work.

I will say that there is a huge benefit to being a plumber....and that is indirectly in this profession our constant exposure to the nasties creates a highly resistant immune system to what some people can end up in the hospital over. Over the years though I've noticed that I don't heal as quickly and more care and consideration is needed to get the wounds to close up to further any problems/infections.

Rubber gloves were very hard to get used to but now I can't work without them on.
