Showerthought: Heard a new guy say he never wears his respirator for short pours
My foreman told him 'silica doesn't care if you're only in there for five minutes', which honestly flipped a switch for me. Anyone else have a simple rule that keeps you safe?

Learned that one the hard way mixing a small batch of floor leveler in a bathroom. Thought cracking a window was enough and coughed up grey dust for two days. Now the mask goes on before I even open the bag, no exceptions.

Used to think a fan was enough for small jobs... then got a lungful of drywall dust. Never again, mask is first thing on now.
