When you attempt to cut corners on the flight deck you are not able to carry out high tempo operations like the US Navy. Lower safety standards equal injury or death. At the end of the day its your call.
This be the US Navy. Note the absense of helmets, flotation vests and basis eye protection gear.

If you are familiar with carrier operations in any way you will notice that Indian Navy crewmen are lacking head protection, floatation vests, basic eye protection and it appears steel toed work shoes. How the Indian Navy runs their carriers is their business, but they are playing a dangerous game with the lives and safety of their deck crew. And taking in to account the long history of the Indian navy operating carriers it cannot be excused.
They should know better.
You can’t really see/inspect the shoes…

Equatorial Guinea inducts new frigate
it was largely built by MTG Dolphin in Varna, Bulgaria, as the ‘salvage and rescue’ vessel Savior (IMO: 9664500) under Project SV 02. It was then outfitted with combat systems at a naval shipyard – thought to be Astilleros de Guinea Ecuatorial (ASABA GE) – in Malabo.
Sorry, I don’t see this a salvage and rescue vessel…
ALso, can’t find anything on Project SV 02
Anyone able to shed some further light?
