He's got goggles, gloves, and closed-toed shoes, so he's not a complete liability working in his beloved skysteel manufactory, but his shirt is the exact opposite of personal protective equipment. Ishgard clearly doesn't have any sort of Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or else all they would have had to do if they wanted to thwart the machinists guild was Report Stephanivien for dangerous workplace practices.
That's just how it is in the Industrial Age. You should see just how they disregarded safety back then. The workers would wear hats that were just begging to get caught in one of the belts.
