My son was stationed in Charleston (go Navy). What a great idea and it’s true that you can walk to everything. Tourist walks are mapped or just go by the water for no less than 1,000 views. You...

How about a dropout from any optical type school in your area? The candidates would have some knowledge, probably needs a job and may then be motivated to finish school on a part time basis. It...

As a trained safety practitioner since 1973, I agree with you. Your exposure is relatively low and it’s not your job.
I say that assuming that you keep the tint machine cold and...
Some people can be negative, aggressive or obnoxious. I don't need conflict.
We all need to keep our jobs. But, how much of your health will you compromise for your boss’s complacency towards basic workplace safety?
The original premise for this thread was to point out that employee protection from chemicals is foremost and compliance to the Hazardous Communications Law runs a close second. Even companies like...
The good thing here is that the subject of chemical safety is being discussed and read about within our industry. I believe that everybody’s postings concerning MSDS in this thread are correct.

Glad to hear you made the big jump. It doesn't work to leap a twenty-foot chasm in two ten-foot jumps.
Chris is Right. Where does it say that “decomposition” refers to “burning”? The MSDS for water says that it decomposes into hydrogen and oxygen. Water doesn’t burn. It decomposes through evaporation...
You are absolutely correct; no health hazard from poly when the product is just sitting there. Look farther down on your same MSDS under “Hazardous Decomposition” and take a big whiff. The product...
Anyone can go to Google, look up “MSDS polycarbonate” and find that poly emits a cocktail of gasses when subjected to heat during curing and friction grinding. Hazardous thermal decomposition...
I’m a Shriner. We run 22 childrens’ hospitals in North America where no one is charged for treatment. Services are for burns and orthopedic. Miracles are truly seen every day.

Rush presents himself as an expert of all things. When he speaks of something I do have some expertise in, labor work standards for example, he’s really off track and biased. Then he accuses...
Shawn,
Don’t go humble on us and disappear. Community support has developed some momentum, as we need to serve our country in our own ways. Please take advantage of our offerings. Let us help you to...
Silicosis, a form of pneumoconiosis, was originally called “GRINDER’S DESEASE” and is similar to black lung or miner’s lung. Inflammation, lesions and scarring of lung tissues are caused by the...
I don’t want to appear to be an alarmist, but come-on you guys. Search the word “lung” on this website and see the consensus on the effects from long-term lab exposures.
We may have superior...
Please note that simply providing MSDS to employees does not comply with the Hazardous Communications Act (HAZ-COM). The law also requires employers to develop a written site-specific program that...
The science of industrial hygiene is not an exact science. Beware of absolute statements from anyone.

We may have superior vapor/dust filters and collection systems. But most of these systems do not scrub the hazardous gasses from the air. These gases result form the evaporation of lab chemicals and...
This thread concerning lab safety, or lack of it, is another reminder that injuries will and do happen in our unique workplace. Mandatory wearing of eye protection by all personnel in the lab is...
The bottom line is that the materials we work with create a cocktail of hazardous chemicals and dusts. The inhalation of these materials is just a bad as touching them to our skin.
