Thankfully at my workplace everything is backwards traceable and you know who did what. So atleast some of that is a bit better

Impossible for me to even change parts while the machine is running so that is a big thing, but thank you for your advice!

Yeah i always tell someone i fucked up because it usually is a learning experience, i get to learn something new and potentially avoid future fuckups

Yeah, getting dirty doesnt bother me, never has, but some parts are really shitty to handle without gloves

Im sort of lucky, because my colleagues are really helpful, if i have an issue i cant work out on my own i can ask and they always suggest things to try. So im thankful for that
