I once hooked myself on the lip whilst fly fishing. Couldn't remove it myself so A&E and two stiches. I always wore polarised glasses anyway but there was a photo doing the rounds of someone with a hook in their eye.
As for DIY etc. glasses and mask plus gloves. Not forgetting no loose clothing.
In the steelworks safety gear was mandatory. Boots, helmet, fire proof jacket/trousers. No articial fibres ( they melt easily). Earplugs, glasses/visor. In the lab we moved to tighter PPE especially due to some chemicals.
