To work in the port, yes or yes, you have to wear gloves, especially safety boots, it is very important to wear them, any small piece, no matter how small it may seem to you, can fall on your foot, if you do not wear the right footwear you will you can be left without a foot You have to be very careful not only with what you are seeing, you have to trust a lot in the partner next to you”.
