Why and how is it not shredding their hands when handling ???
It's hard to believe, but the glass rock really feels pretty similar to rock when handling. That being said, to prevent shredded hands when recycling glass, workers should wear cut-resistant gloves and adhere to safe handling practices.
great initiative and ingenious approach to recycling! One caveat: I would be concerned about silicosis when working with too fine glass particles, especially if airborne
Preventive measures and strict adherence to safety protocols are crucial to protect workers from the harmful effects of silica dust exposure. Bricolage has the added benefit of their machines being outdoors, so ventilation is not an issue.
