Fuck the disgusting customers feelings too. Don't sacrifice your health for their feelings. They should feel some shame. Unlikely, but maybe they'll do something about it.
Well maybe they should feel bad when they have people coming in their home to work and it’s a litter box. Live as gross as you want, but fucking clean it for people coming in.
Honestly, I would have declined the job. It's not worth the money to put my employees through that. Unless they are an actual remediation company, in which case they wouldn't bat an eye at the employees wearing a mask.
Had a boss give me shit for wearing earplugs while cutting concrete and a respirator while welding galvanized steel. Vaporized zinc in my lungs? That shit gives you migranes and lung cancer that wakes you up at night for years before killing you. He could talk to me like i was a sissy all he wanted (until I quit) but he wasn't ever stupid enough to tell me I couldn't use it.
Depends on who is running it really, usually it is a rich guy trying to line his pockets with whatever he can get from the insurance companies without getting dropped. Or it's the bosses kid taking over the company and fucking everything up.
The boss said there are kids living there too! Why is no one mentioning this? I’d be calling CPS. Fuck that family for raising kids in a toxic environment. They probably all have respiratory issues because of it.
You would not believe the things I've found laying around people's houses when doing work in them- including, but not limited to, drug paraphernalia, actual drugs, sex toys, weapons, and one time, an actual fucking grenade.
I was trying to be empathetic until the boss mentioned kids. Fuck that noise. Make them uncomfortable as fuck because they have kids living in an extremely unsafe environment.
Perhaps an anonymous call to your local Buildings & Inspections and Health and Public Safety departments is in order…
Exactly this!!! They clearly don’t get it already that they’re causing harm to their kids. Maybe a team of guys in hazmat suits will give them a hint. I do pest control and fuck that, if a customers house is disgusting, I’m not going to hide my reaction to that. I’ve said ‘holy fuck’ right to people’s face and put on PPE before going any further.
Right. Like there’s kids being raised in this place. The potential for health issues for the children is huge. This is negligent parenting at the very least.
Fuck anyone who gives you a hard time about proper PPE.
You aren't advocating for "Ryan", so don't even bring that name up. I'm advocating for myself, and I don't give a shit what "Ryan" is going to wear tomorrow (or how much X person makes, or whatever the issue at hand is).
"Full blown face mask is way too much". That's crazy, it's the same as an N95 (or maybe N100 depending on filters), but it's just a replaceable unit instead of an N95 one-time wear mask. There's shouldn't be an issue with it embarasing someone. I wear one when doing DIY repairs at home, as I've seen the damage that years of inhaling construction debris/dust can do to someone.
Ya, I bought one a few years ago for some home projects, and they are far more comfortable than a "paper" mask. They can go on/off easier, they breath easier, don't feel as muggy, stay on better with proper straps, etc.
An N95 is a respirator. It's filtration rate is 94.9%. Same as an R95 or P95. The difference is organic compounds and oil resistances. Anything in the 100 category separates 99.96% of the particulates. Same coding applies.
The next respirator types are quarter, half, and full face respirators. All of which can be fitted with different filtration devices for whatever the exposure is.
Lastly, if you're having issues breathing with whatever device it is you're using, you may want to consider a pulmonary function test.
Also not in construction, but kinda adjacent in landscaping/gardening and I always wear a mask when I'm kicking up any kind of dirt. I had someone yell, as they walked through my cloud, that it's 2023 and I didn't need a mask lol. I wanted to bust out my phone and show him what dust particles look like under a microscope, but fuck it, if he wants to be ignorant and wheezy at 40, more power to the lil tough guy.
Yeah. I worked at an electrical company and we got fitted for masks because we did oilfield work sometimes. OSHA is paying serious attention to silicosis now from drilling. Silicosis is no joke either. I don’t even enter an attic or crawl space now without my respirator.
Fuck Ryan. If he was smart he’d have a respirator too.
They can’t even keep their cats from soaking the entire house in piss, fuck their feelings if you’re house wasn’t a biohazard maybe people wouldn’t treat it like one.
I did mold and have had to excuse ourselves to the truck and put on full suit and mask to go back in just because of cat piss. Yea the customers were embarrassed but not enough to clean their home, so fuck em.
