I had posted a few weeks ago about a recent sighting of silica exposures during concrete/asphalt cutting. Then, today, at a stoplight…there it is.
A worker was using a gas powered hot saw (cut off saw) with an abrasive blade to cut a concrete pipe. No respirator.
If you were me, what would you do? (Leave your answer in the comments section)
- call the company main office?
- stop and caution the employee?
- call OSHA?
- take a picture and post it for the world to see (check…ha)
- offer to buy a respirator
- perform air monitoring for them? (for free, of course.?)
