The fucked up part of this is how preventable it is. Very few folks will take to wearing a mask though, when that's all they need.
Here's the full set of measures recommended:
Considering these are likely illegal immigrants working on these countertops, I wouldn't be shocked if their employers refused to supply masks.
or charged them for the basic safety gear out of their already low wage.
Both of which are very illegal
False, read the article?
Its more than just masks that are needed and the article makes that very clear.
They weren't exactly rude and it is irritating when people comment on things in the article incorrectly.
Also it's not just respirators that are needed.
Plus they are essentially blaming the workers claiming they won't wear masks.
You get "serious creep vibes" from someone saying "false read the article"? Christ what world do you live in
I get serious spineless vibes from that person
No, respirator is a type of mask, thats not what I was referring to.
The article mentions multiple times that masks are just one piece of the puzzle, and goes into a fair bit of detail about how its way more than that, that is needed.
Read the article, it's gone over in detail multiple times.
Right, it's the ventilation hose built into every piece of cutting equipment ever made that they neglected to use.
Thats another one, but not the hose itself.
Read the article perhaps.
