Re: Re: Vultures tearing house down - I am amazed.

Well, when I said remediators, I guess I really meant " people who are

going to be *working* in 1M CFU m3 stachybotrys " !!!

Tearing down is the worst as far as dust goes..

The contractor supplied everything these people needed, but you can't MAKE them

use what is given to them. People are going to be ignorant.

I understand what you're saying. Its good that you supplied them with the

respirators, etc.

You did what your conscience said you needed to do.. I agree, it often

doesn't make much difference.

Work is scarce right now.

I think that there is a sort of macho ethic with contractor independent

contractor " employees " where they try to show their

bosses how willing they are to work without protection. Ive seen this happen

many times.

Its not just peer pressure.. there is more stuff than just that going on..

When the boss is gone, though, it doesn't take much prodding to hear in

private about their various health problems.. (they rarely have any health

insurance, so its often a really terrible situation..they have wives and

kids at home, depending on their being able to work..)

They do care. Its just that in this economy, they don't want to look like

they might get sick, ever.

Its the kiss of death.

If you want to try to educate them, then go for it. I don't have the time or

patience to do

it.

Yes, we know.

Aside from toxicity issues, it is smart to reuse already-manufactured, cut

down, processed, etc. items to prevent their having to be manufactured over

and over again. Also, older items are often better made than newer ones.

Builders often seek out these older materials because they are worth a lot

in today's dollars.

The wood is probably recyclable..

You would probably never be told. Contractors would be the ones buying it.

There are no laws against mold.
