So I never had to work around wave solder machines, but I did work in a 
power plant.   We were required to wear full leather boots, gloves, full 
length sleeves cotton, wool, leather or flame retardant clothing when 
inside the power block (power plant), FR was required of those of us 
that could be exposed to 50 volts or above, safely glasses all the time, 
hard hats if out of an office.   Full flash suits above 200 volts, 
rubber gloves with leather outers etc.   You either complied or first 
time was a letter in your file, second time was a decision making leave, 
third time was go look for another job.   Same standards applied for the 
CEO on down, one of the VP's got a dml for wearing sports shoes.   Steam 
temperatures were around 570 deg F.   The company purchased the FR 
clothing and safety glasses (prescription), and leather boots for those 
that were required to work at heights (climbers).    The female clerks 
and tech's complained but complied.
