OSHA needs to step up… oh wait. This stuff is insanely commonplace. Most workers are not educated enough on carcinogens and reducing risk. Ironically it’s people that work around radiation that tend to be the safest. But when it comes to hazardous chemical exposure, safety is brushed aside. Benzene, acid mists, chromium dusts, all have popped up in recent OSHA reports.

What a savage, uncivilized country. A country without single payer socialized medical insurance is just an undeveloped shithole country. Total no-go zone.
Dear contract firefighters, have you considered you may be doing more good by letting it all burn?
