Today there's a bunch of tradies removing a set of stairs to the mezzanine floor and replacing them with a new set... Something to do with new gov regulations making the old set unsafe because the stairs themselves are stairs like this, apparently that is now deemed not safe because you see through the stairs? ❄❄❄ Anyway that's not what I was getting at, just had a heated discussion because apparently the tradies are "extremely unsafe" because they are not wearing hearing protection?????? I said that "my exhaust is louder than that grinder" and wearing hearing protection seems "a little silly" and was scorned for thinking so lol. Eeye protection I can understand, hearing protection though??? Also, HR has now deemed that we must wearing hearing and eye protection when using the drill press. Fantastic. Don't want to get deaf from drilling my little plastic enclosure! I grew up in Zimbabwe with African parents so maybe that's where this unsafe attitude has come from 🤷♂️🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearing damage is caused by reoccurring or lengthy exposure to the noise. But a drill press on plastic is whack... some activities are more dangerous when you can’t hear properly IMO and I’d rather risk the hearing damage than feel like I’m not aware of what’s around me and being able to use all senses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
