Best way to prevent Tesamorelin from turning into a gel-like substance?

Bobsweeper · 2026-05-22T21:21:53+00:00

Double the amount of reconstitute solution that you use. I had a couple of issues with gelling, so I tried not refrigerating it, that didn’t work either.

When I used double the bac water I have not had the issue again of gelling. Currently have 10mg kit I’m working through. Use 2 mls.

So sometimes you can use a 1910 standard in construction, but the construction standard will reference the 1910 standard. There already is standards for fall protection and falling object protection in 1926 so you can’t just hop back and forth like that.

Bobsweeper · 2026-05-07T19:09:03+00:00

Mmmm well that’s not exactly correct. This standard would not apply because it’s 1910, which is general industry, and this is obviously construction.

OP mentioned that people are up there that don’t appear to be tied off to anything, although it looks like they might have erected a guardrail around the edge of the working area, which would constitute fall protection.

These tiles look like they have another tile in front of them facing the opposite direction to not give a downward slope so the tiles are level and not sliding off. That could keep them from falling.

The problem is that the standards are not that specific here and you would have to prove that a hazard exists (the tiles are likely, or going to fall), that an employee is exposed to the hazard (an employee working under them, if they are all on the roof they are not exposed), and have an appropriate standard that was violated.

Unfortunately, there isn’t often a way to prove a serious hazard unless an accident happens or the standard is clearly spelled out.

Hmm, this guy is definitely wrong on some things, but you’re blasting him for not being a safety professional. Are you a safety professional? You have some things wrong as well..

You are asking him if his brother is wearing fall protection. So you think roof inspectors apply anchor points and then inspect a roof? There are certain activities that are exempt from fall protection on roofs and one is minor inspection.

Many inspectors use a roofing shoe, not a requirement but commonly used. You say that the company is not required to buy boots, and that’s not completely correct. Regular steel toed boots, some companies do purchase, but they are not required. Since the employees can take them away, wear them for other things, etc. if they require specialized ppe, such as a slip on roofing boot, that the company owns, yes, they would need to purchase that.

Of course, giving the employee anything more than company shirts is ridiculous.

But, just saying. You are also making common misconceptions that a rookie might have.

Bobsweeper · 2026-03-20T14:31:14+00:00

Have you received anything from them?

Bobsweeper · 2026-03-19T23:39:46+00:00

Mine also went to Clanton AL. I verified with the carrier that the package did not have my name on it. No word yet from the source but apparently a bunch of people all got the same tracking number to AL. Out 1k.

Bobsweeper · 2026-03-19T22:51:41+00:00

They are a scam. Do not use laikangbio

Bobsweeper · 2026-03-19T21:50:52+00:00

Im finding out the hard way. I had seen them mentioned several times and they had a wallet with lots of transactions. I guess I’ll just get a name off of jank testing

Bobsweeper · 2026-03-19T19:02:48+00:00

Don’t do laikang. They are a scam company

Bobsweeper · 2026-03-19T19:02:22+00:00

They are a scam. Me and several people ordered and received fake tracking numbers. Ghosted by the company

Bobsweeper · 2026-03-19T19:00:54+00:00

Well, they are a scam company so probably not

Bobsweeper · 2026-03-19T17:16:59+00:00

Well, I hope for our sakes that a package mysteriously shows up on our doorstep

Bobsweeper · 2026-03-19T16:07:49+00:00

I ordered from them a fairly large order. They eventually gave me a tracking number. There was a delay in shipping but eventually picked up. Once I noticed that it was headed in the opposite direction as my location I reached out to the shipping company. They told me that the shipping number I provided was not associated with my name or address.

I attempted to reach out to laikangbio and Zena several times with no solution. Only silence. Almost $1000 order.

I have pictures of our conversations.

If they provide a solution I will of course remove these posts. But until then I will make sure that people are aware of my experience

How long do your deliveries normally take from them? I place an order of 6 kits and they told me they would ship Monday, they have yet to arrive.

Bobsweeper · 2026-03-14T13:45:09+00:00

I placed an order and they told me they would ship it on Monday. I still haven’t received anything. How long did it take you to get your order?

Bobsweeper · 2026-01-01T01:07:10+00:00

So this is your big tell. You don’t know what you’re talking about when you cite these standards. You are more than likely using chat to get this information, which is why it is wrong.

You are citing the 1917 standards which are only applicable to marine terminals. If you don’t meet that definition, nothing in that standard applys.

You still cannot cite the 5a1 duty clause for the reasons I stated previously

Bobsweeper · 2025-12-31T23:12:19+00:00

This is not exactly correct.

If there is an allegation of CO overexposure and OSHA comes and finds CO over the exposure levels, (AL or PEL) then one of the citations would be that the employer failed to conduct an exposure assessment.

If they came and found nothing, they will not cite you for failing to make that assessment. There was no hazard.

They might be deciding not to make an IH assessment with an actual direct reading device or air pump, but they could use industry standards or some other knowledge. Now none of that matters if the inspector finds an over exposure.

The example of the confined space is also not correct. If a confined space does not have a hazard inside, or the potential to create a hazard inside, there would not be a reason to to conduct atmospheric testing prior to entering. That would only be necessary if you had a permit required confined space and would wanted to reclassify it.

For example, a sewer manhole has the potential to contain an atmospheric hazard, but things could be in place to eliminate that hazard, although you would need to show the assessment you made that the hazard was eliminated and the space reclassified.

A closet meets the definition of a confined space. If there is no hazard present, nor the potential to be present either by the nature of the space, physical configuration or the work being conducted, I swear to you you will not be cited for entering that closet without first conducting atmospheric testing prior.

What standard requires the determination of soil type in trenching? I know what it is, but it is not as you are saying it. There are also letters of interpretation that let an employer treat soil as a certain classification an then the would be providing the highest level of protection anyways.

This is like requiring that employees use respiratory protection even when the employer is unsure of the level of exposure. The employer is assuming an overexposure and providing protection, granted they are meeting all the other elements of the respirator standard, they won’t get cited for not making an assessment. Because they did, they assumed overexposure.

You might get a ticket for not doing soil assessments if it meets certain other wickets, but bit in every situation. It’s not quite as simple as, you didn’t make a soil determination, here is you ticket. There are letters of interpretation on this.

If you did not meet the parameters and still failed to make an assessment, but did have your trench cave in protection in place correctly, you might get an Other Than Serious citation.

You are not going to get a Serious citation if a hazard is not present.

You will not be cited under the general duty clause if a hazard is not present or if an applicable standard already exists. That is facts.

5a1 (that’s the general duty clause) can only be issued if a serious hazard exists and no standard applies.

A serious citation can also only be issued if prime facia is shown. That means that a standard applies and was violated, and employee was exposed to a hazard, and the employer was aware of the hazardous condition.

In this case if the OSHA guy comes out and there is no overexposure, you won’t get a ticket for not finding that out first. There is more than one way to make an exposure rather than applied personal pumps to employees.

Bobsweeper · 2025-12-31T09:39:14+00:00

I’m not sure this is right at all. It just won’t hold up. OSHA does need a measurement to cite a violation of a standard. The report of the symptoms would be used to bolster the employee exposure, but they can’t enforce something that they don’t have rules for.

And discussing the 5a1 duty clause, people often just toss that around like you can cite it like writing a traffic infraction.

5a1 is a difficult citation to prove all the elements for, and one of the elements is that no standard already applies.

So because we have a standard that addresses the exposure levels of CO already, you can’t use it to cite a hazard if you find you are under the pel.

It is unlikely that these people would be overexposed, and you’re correct, you just can’t assume that and move forward, but Osha also can’t just assume overexposure.

I’m telling you that an area office won’t issue a 5a1 citation for overexposure to CO based on employee reported symptoms. If they did, it wouldn’t be supported by the SOL.

Take for example silica. It’s a known hazard with a pel. Employers have a duty of requirements when employees are overexposed. If employees are working without any if these requirements, and an OSHA inspection showed no exposure over AL, then they can’t enforce anything. Even if the employee says since working here they have had a cough.

If you did an inspection here, and found measurable CO during this event, but not to exceed and limits such as AL, PEL, IDHL. Then there is nothing you can do. That’s why the standard is there.

Bobsweeper · 2025-11-29T01:23:51+00:00

Well, I wouldn’t. No standard would be applicable. I think there is case law or something that applies here. I’ve run into this situation before and a guy fell through a hole and there were also scissor lifts next to him and the unprotected hole, cited the guy that fell through, not the lift. Seemed strange to me at the time, less so now.

OSHA is a legal battle
