In 1970 I worked as a carpenter on the school where Tyson learned to box. The soffits and skirts were made of Transite (a cement/asbestos product) which we cut with a circular saw utilizing a carborundum blade without any form of protection. That created such gray cloud that at times you couldn't see the line you were cutting. I spit gray and picked gray for about two months. Since then, through the VA, I've had several scans, and evidently suffer no ill effects. Luck of the Irish??
Luck of the draw. For every job site full of people that breath that stuff in may be one gets mesothelioma 40 years later. Maybe none get it. Luck of the draw. Millions of Americans have breathed asbestos yet only around 3,000 cases are diagnosed each year. Consider yourself one of the lucky ones.
thats why we have extrem rules/laws for it in germany and i love it
Also lots of greedy landlords in Germany. You can't rent an apartment when you start asking where to be careful about asbestos.
follow the rules stay safe
i love strict rules, very like..
This needs to be nominated for a grammy
Damn I am worried like fuck. I start working with asbestos next week. Hopefully I'll be safe.
Your safety depends on you.
I've been working with it for 3 years
@@Chxll5992how is the job? I just applied
How was it? I’m thinking about starting an asbestos technician job
Excellent! I like to show it in my asbestos training classes.

Up until now, still no medical issues, my friend? None at all?
YET…
Man lucky you I’m 27 already showing signs. Another ct scan next month fucking bullshit
One time exposure won’t necessarily kill you. It’s if you work with it unprotected day after day. Never go around it without good PPE.
That is very unfortunate

Hvac people got to watch out at all
Been there - use PPE and be safe
Asbestos killed my dad. Once diagnosed, he has just a little over a year before he died.
My grampa was sick for ten years before he died. He worked for years in an asbestos mine. They didn't have PPE in those days. He was 88.
