what possible hazard could wearing shorts in a shop violate?

Bill:

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.

I wear shorts 365 days a year. I've done all the above and more in
shorts. Sure I've been burned by a stray chip or two. Big fsckin deal,
that comes with the job. Stupidity is what gets people *hurt* in a
machine shop. And I suppose that's why we have pointless rules like 'no
shorts allowed', to protect the truly stupid from themselves.

This isn't a personal jab at you, Bob. Just a comment.
