I had to regularly clean ovens back in my former life as a baker. I used similar chemicals and my PPE consisted of a pair of safetry goggles, a breathing mask, a set of heavy rubber gloves that covered me up to the elbows and a big apron. I used to get shit if I wasn't wearing the gear, which was pretty rare.
That stuff will fuck up your lungs in a big way, if you keep inhaling it. You did risk blindness getting it in your eye. Oh, and those chemical burns? Some of those scars will be permanent, my man.
By all means, be a dick about this stuff if that's what it takes to get it done right. If you still don't get results, report them and/or quit. The rules exist for a reason and there's no job that's worth risking your health.
