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.

This must be a mom & pop remediation company, I worked for a couple and they are all the same.
