what possible hazard could wearing shorts in a shop violate?

You wouldn't want to run a manual lathe or mill that was flycutting. Also any sharp edged *** metal or unseen protruding bar stock could
put a nice gash on your legs. Also you wouldn't want to be in the
welding area while someone is welding.
We don't have any rule against wearing shorts, in fact one person wears
them all the time.



Sure BB, common sense all the way, but if it's 110 in the shop and humid I can risk the protection a .01 piece of cloth provides my shins.
