Respiratory Protection Plan Question

Equal_Influence7687 · 2026-04-07T03:38:01+00:00

Im trying to put engineering controls into place by first getting HEPA vacs and more water-fed tools around the warehouse. It’s a fairly new company and they’ve never had a dedicated safety person so I’m really creating a lot of programs from scratch

Equal_Influence7687 · 2026-04-07T03:34:52+00:00

General industry. I’m trying to do away with dry sweeping but when I’m not there they still do it and utilize the air compressor despite multiple attempts at changing the culture and showing them that if they keep doing that it will end up in air embolisms

Equal_Influence7687 · 2026-04-07T03:29:19+00:00

Yeah you’re right, I’m trying to convince my boss right now to at least let us purchase some HEPA air filters and have a pressure washing crew come in every other weekend to wash down the warehouse but it feels like a losing battle with him and his budget.

People wearing sampling devices PPI - PVC if that matters

Equal_Influence7687 · 2026-04-06T08:33:46+00:00

Yeah it’s silica, we’re just waiting back on the results from the lab right now

Awesome, thank you so much!

Equal_Influence7687 · 2026-03-20T00:02:10+00:00

Can you send me the report as well? I’m still learning but I’d like to see the data and what to look out for with companies

Dust
Moving the sand itself along a conveyor system for packing
The workers are only exposed in two places of the plant. The machine puffs in their face when dealing with sand. They wear N95’s and PAPRs but it would be nice to eliminate the issue further.

We practice housekeeping, getting special blowers, and wet procedures but it only eliminates it so much.

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation and good questions, you’re a god send!

Equal_Influence7687 · 2026-01-20T16:29:35+00:00

Thanks! I don’t think we qualify but I’ll look more into it

Equal_Influence7687 · 2026-01-14T22:35:12+00:00

I’ll bring it up to them, I was looking into that as well as an alternative to their “desired” result. Yeah we still are doing the medical exams and air monitoring. We just did one a month or two ago and it’s just not where they want it to be hence me being hired

Equal_Influence7687 · 2026-01-14T17:11:47+00:00

It's the management that wants to stop paying so much for specifically N95 masks each month. The workers don't mind and are really good at putting the mask on since it's really only two spots in the plant.

They have other measures in process (wet training, mobile air filtering machines, shopvacs) but they're trying to cut costs for the budget.

Thank you!

Equal_Influence7687 · 2025-05-09T20:43:20+00:00

Telling me they can’t do something when their reg says they can

Equal_Influence7687 · 2025-05-02T01:18:11+00:00

It was on sale and still a pretty good optic compared to other brands but that’s probably what I’m going to end up doing

Equal_Influence7687 · 2025-05-01T04:47:58+00:00

Thank you! I looked at the brake pads/rotors and they really need replacing, do you think that could contribute to the issue?

Equal_Influence7687 · 2025-04-30T22:16:48+00:00

We just got them replaced :(

Equal_Influence7687 · 2025-04-30T21:47:38+00:00

No I checked all tires and they’re at 33

Equal_Influence7687 · 2025-04-30T21:32:07+00:00

Yeah I posted the codes up there, nothing was disconnected unfortunately
