  • Don't forget that on pretty much every site the standard way of removing the dust generated from the work is to hand a broom to the least intelligent person on site and tell them to get on with it. There is no recognition that this just pumps a massive amount of the settled dust back into the air starting the whole process again. When I was working big sites there was talk of HSE making brooms illegal which brought about much hand wringing and cries of "it's 'elf n safety gone mad!". The proposed solution was to send labourers around the site with these strapped to their backs:

    But it seemed to quietly die a death. Largely because there were other genuine counter arguements about using them. The one that sticks in my mind was based around manual handling as the unit would progressively get heavier throughout the shift.

  • Seen lots of those backpack vacuums, and weird brooms that look like a squeegee.
    I regularly go mad at people for sweeping up tbh for the exact reason you mentioned.
    Thanks mate, I’m really glad you’ve just made all that insulation dust airborne again, dead fcking helpful. 👍👍👍👍
