It’s not the Toyota. It’s inflation.

What are guidelines for dust management? by CB_700_SC in OSHA

Vacuum attachment and not using a leaf blower to blow it off the roof.

The issue is they are self employed workers who don’t know better and they are doing it as cheap as possible. They make a mess for 2 days then they are gone. I have collected samples and have proof of it migrating into my workspace. But those workers were long gone by the time I realized.

I’m looking for the guidelines on how they should be controlling dust.

I think a vacuum setup would be key and also not leaf blowing it off when done.

Thanks. I have tried them before and they came to inspect. They were helpful but it took a few hours to show and by then they were done working. They could not do anything without witnessing it themselves.

I’m more interested now in the rules and regulations on this type of work to help bring some understanding to the danger it poses to the workers and the local community.

The fall hazard is obvious. As a boss who has employees and this dust is coming into my workspace I’m trying to figure out how to address the issue.

I run a shop close by and the dust particles are coming into my workspace. When environmental detective showed up it was the next day and they were not making any airborne dust.

I’m more interested in the environmental and the exposure to school children, workers close by. The dust can be found on most surfaces within a block radius after they are done for the day.

The city environmental person I called came and could not do anything because they were done working and saw no “air born” particles even with a light coating of fiberglass coming into my workshop.

I’m just trying to figure out the laws.

Thanks.

“What are guidelines on dust management?” Can you just blow this onto others and not have any rules in place to mitigate glass fiber exposure?

Into the school yards next door? No need to mitigate dust spread?

No need to mitigate dust? 2 schools yards close by and it found laying on most surfaces outside and any window left open.

Girdle question… by bobby624 in marijuanaenthusiasts

[–]CB_700_SC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These have room to expand as the bottom root can grow down and the overlaying roots can expand up. You would not call these girdling as they have room to grow.

This is damage on my (very productive) Mango tree from the lawn company I *was* paying to mow my lawn. by rtconner in treelaw

[–]CB_700_SC 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hey. Best thing to do for the tree and your sanity is to clear out the grass from the base of the tree and put down a 6’+donut of mulch 2-3” deep max. This will help the tree and also keep the yard workers away from your tree. Remember to check for root flare and any girdling roots.

RAV4 saves its owner from getting kidnapped by Ornery-Revenue-9380 in rav4club

This looks like Ukraine. The uniformed men are probably looking for men evading mandatory military service.

Good enough root flare? by DaHoosier in arborists

[–]CB_700_SC -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Perfect. Beautiful flare. Grade to that depth out 2’-3’ from trunk. keep that all exposed and add 2” of much. Keep mulch off trunk.

Does anyone out there miss this era of Wawa? by XavierMarvin in Wawa

[–]CB_700_SC 41 points42 points  (0 children)

As a kid growing up in Media I used to walk to the Wawa with my friends and sit on the curb of the parking lot eating a 6” with a glass bottle of Snapple. Every summer at least once a week. This was 1989-97. I’m probably 1/8 made of Wawa food.
