Everyone in a small aircraft should shout clear (or tge variations given here) prior to engaging the starter. Every time.
Just last week, I was ungapoy over another pilot in the tiediwn across from me. I was midful that he was about to start his engine. Was in “my area”, doing preflight. But what if i had a laose of attention, or firgot?
That verbal warning (not given) might have reninded me.
I’m quite confident a clear prop call has saved multiple people. Likely many.

I'm a big fan of "clear" followed by a 5 to 10 second pause while looking at the area that's supposedly clear. The fact is that in the overwhelming majority of human prop strikes involve an engine that has been running for much longer than the few seconds allowed after yelling ''Clear. Nothing wrong with redundancy, however
