I started when I was a kid in the late 70’s in Canada and had my first lung exam about 13 years later which shocked my examiner but it didn’t shock me. All these years later and I’m finally rendered redundant due to collapsed discs in my lower spine and scoliosis of the upper. Very often I awake at night in a panic because I can’t breathe, my days are numbered but my politicians tell me to get off my ass and get a job! Thanks Doug Ford
I just recently started with the waking up in a panic ... I now take allergy over the counter pills to open my sinuses, Breath Rite strips and Flownase spray as well .. I do it right before bed and they’ve helped reduce the incidents ...
I'm a second year concrete Finisher. Where I'm working, were building underground plenum shafts. They make us wear full face shield respirators along with hazmat suits. We do a lot of chipping, drilling, cutting into dry stone. Early into the project their was quartz in the air also. That including sand blasting piles and applying spray-crete. That said, it's been the most hazardous job I ever been to in my life. I still work there just on the ground now.
I am going through the same thing here after drilling holes into concrete when building houses in the usa and no one will take it seriously the doctors said mild biapical scarring but it's like they wont help how can these companies not be thrown in jail this is murder and has ruined my life.
15 years ago at school they made us sand walls almost every day without any protection. As a child I didn't think anything of it, but there were times when I was covered in white dust.
Please help spread awareness of silicosis. hopefully someone can create a cure for this horrible disease I worry everyday that I will die from going to work and working hard my employer never informed us of the dangers and never provided any protectionI wish osha or someone would have told me the dangers of drilling into concrete i had no idea my employer never gave me any kind of protection and never told me of the dangers we were carpenters and had to attach wood to concrete or drill tie down holes blow out the holes with air and epoxy the all threaded rods in never realized its fatal with no hope no cure no treatments.my life has been turned upside down and no one would even investigate the company they denied it and osha said they needed a 3 day notice prior to drilling which the contractors know and know there untouchable. My life is ruined at 35 I beg you please save our lives
Please help me I was exposed to massive amounts of silica dust and wasn't provided protection now I am terrified I am going to die I feel trapped without a way out I feel like I am barred a live with no help I was just a wood carpenter but the boss had us drilling into concrete and blowing out the holes with compressed air never provided any protection or knowledge of the dangers I need help fast I dont want to die
I have the same problem I was cutting and chipping heaps of concrete away for weeks maybe a couple of months and even today drilled holes and blew them out without any mask, super fucken scared now I don’t want to die I don’t even wanna go out because it’s all I think about
As far as I know, the danger lies mostly in repeated exposure over a long period of time, as in several years. If you don't have symptoms like shortness of breath and chronic cough I wouldn't worry about it.
I just wish I would have known no one told us no one had signs posted no one ever said a word This is out right MURDER they should be put to death for doing this to someone.
Also before wearing a mask, engineering controls should be the first option. ie using water on saw blades, vacuum attachments or air filters in a room with little ventilation.

Have you gone to multiple different doctors? May be a dumb question but

My brother is 36 yrs old and on August 5,2023 was diagnosed positive for silicosis 😭
He works with marble and granite for the last 19 years
Como esta tu hermano?
My dad passed away with silicosis last year. He didn't know he had; it takes only a few weeks after diagnosis that he was gone
My Father is also suffering from Sillicosis age 55 😔
@@ramkumarmaruthai8000how's your dad doing, bro?
He passed away last year 😔
how old was your dad… mine to
I'm so sorry mate

How long were you performing that kind of work? I'm curious because I have family who have done lots of home projects and I'm worried.

I've been using hair fibers which have silicon in them for years....am I at risk for silicosis?
I just wish I would have known no one told us no one had signs posted no one ever said a word This is out right MURDER they should be put to death for doing this to someone.
i wonder how much damage i did for working at a stone mason factory for 2 years.
Should probably go to a doctor and find out
What about pulmonary lavage ? Wash the lungs
Unfortunately not
Yes there is a cure now theyvwash the lungs like a washing mashine with salt water gets rid of scaring
Please help us I was never given protection or any warnings and worry it will kill me my dr doesn't seem to care and its really worrying me
Your comment was from 2 years ago, how are you doing today, bro?
Remember, if you’re going to wear any mask or protection, against silica dust, make sure it is a niosh approved respirator such as N-95 or better.
Also before wearing a mask, engineering controls should be the first option. ie using water on saw blades, vacuum attachments or air filters in a room with little ventilation.
Just remember a beard or facial hair essentially makes any face masks useless.
