What are the safety recommendations for a metal fabrication shop, clothing wise?

I work for a custom metal shop. We use galvanized, paint grip (bonderized), and copper flat sheets. I am trying to get dress code set up for the shop, but need some tips. I’ve called OSHA and all they told me was that they couldn’t tell me over the phone what our workers need to be wearing. And that unless we have them come in, $$$, they can’t tell us! We use metal snips, soldering, spot welder, big machine cutters and benders. Obviously, no loose clothing is allowed, but I don’t know what else. Please help if you work in a metal shop or know about this kind of thing! Thank you in advance for all of your suggestions.

Go to your local library,go to the information desk and request a copy of the CFR book (Code of Federal Regulations),you also need to see a copy of the NEC book (National Electrical Code).
These books are what they go by, also local code if more stringent will supersede their code, so go to the city building dept for this.
Good luck,be safe.
