Actually mandatory here in any type commercial operation now. I have not seen a band saw yet with this feature but it may be out there as well.

My shop teacher scarred the crap out of me with a story about someone who carried a saw ( the old, hand saw, crosscut or rip) in his arm pit. Stumbled and fell and the saw cut tendons etc an the person lost the use of his arm. Never thought to carry a saw that way, but it still makes my arm ache to think about it.
My 36 year old son still blanches at any mention of foreign objects in the eye. Seems he had a pretty graphic film on shop safety.
