I am coming to the conclusion that I should be putting my respirator on when I arrive at work and not taking it off until I have got home and had a shower.
This is how it feels on site. It’s never quite enough to justify putting a mask on, but it feels so constant I get the feeling that I’m severely shortening my life by just being there. Can’t wait to qualify and head for a cleaner role!

Mmmmmm.
All that wall chasing is, I think, possibly worse.
Most of the sparx I've worked with away from big sites think that the safest way to cut their chases in walls is one hand holding the grinder and the other hand holding the nozzle of a clapped out Henry hoover behind the disc. They always seem pretty bemused when I get salty with them for filling the air with silica dust and very few understand that a proper m class extractor is not the same as a Henry let alone have heard of a chasing saw.

Having recently worked with a chippie who is called Puff Davey on account of his debilitating COPD I am coming to the conclusion that I should be putting my respirator on when I arrive at work and not taking it off until I have got home and had a shower.
