This wall was to the supply room with all of the uniforms and PPE. The building was constructed in the mid-20th century so it turns out it’s full of asbestos. Thanks mole man.
All your PPE is considered contaminated now. Was it just the drywall mud containing or was the insulation behind the wall containing too
I know so much about asbestos
Moleman has now begun the process of transforming into a being of pure scar tissue. Takes about 20-30 years
The supply room and everything in it was immediately blocked off. But now we have neither uniforms nor full PPE for our outdoor jobs with hazardous conditions.
I’m not sure where the asbestos was exactly, only that it’s a giant maintenance garage built in the early 1970s. They probably heavily fireproofed the whole structure. It’s nasty shit but I kind of want to make a little hole in the wall to get some for one of those magic Roman bags that cleaned itself.
If you want to be more Roman just wipe your doodoo ass with a vinegar soaked sea sponge. Avoid the magic bag of doom.
I exclusively tradshit in public bathrooms with no stalls, but asbestos bags show the brilliance of Greco-Roman culture. Imagine the convenience of tossing your clothes in the fire after a long day of watching slaves murder each other for sport. They come out perfectly clean without any washing or drying. Why would the gods make this magic if it wasn’t good for us in moderation?
It’s crazy to me that there are still a ton of buildings with asbestos in them. Can we please have a functional society with a government program to tear down and replace asbestos filled buildings
That doesn’t sound like an optimal use of labor even if we had a functioning society. Leaving sitting asbestos lie is pretty stable and doesn’t sound like a high priority.
The problem is with known and unknown unknowns. It’s stable until a mole man burrows through the wall or a car hits it or a fire breaks out in the old structure. You can’t renovate it or service the things inside the walls. A tornado or heavy wind storm, both possible here, would cause similar damage. Wildfires have destroyed an entire town in the same area without any warning, and one happening here would leave a big pile of asbestos in the open air. To me it’s like having radioactive waste or chemicals that can’t be mixed in that room. Perfectly okay until suddenly it isn’t.
I work maintenance for a school board with over 80 schools. Every single one has Asbestos containing materials.
Turns out Mohammad Atta was just trying to get rid of asbestos in New York
9/11 was just a public demonstration on the failure of asbestos as a fireproofing material that got out of hand.
Wait until you learn about lead paint, and lead plumbing, and leaded AV gas, and leaded soil, and leaded wire coatings.
The only materials you can safely assume are 100% NOT ASBESTOS are wood glass and metal.
It is fireproof, waterproof(amphibole asbestos is anyway), resists electricity, is the best insulation material on earth still used in space applications, it’s lightweight, it comes from the earth as Asbestos it needs no processing other than like grinding it up, it’s indestructible, easy to work with, as it “deteriorates” it keeps its fibrous shape just gets longer so it lasts forever.
If it didn’t kill you slowly it would be the best material known to humankind.
The cost to safely abate the least dangerous forms of asbestos are massive. Not even just in money. The amount of poly plastic needed, the wasted coveralls, the duct tape. It’s an environmental nightmare to make a high risk enclosure but even in a moderate risk you’re using like 3 coveralls per person per shift
You can’t even have two doors anymore because of woke.
See I don’t know. Apparently the patriots are still in control and you can spontaneously decide to destroy a wall in an office without any kind of oversight. The woke mafia is persecuting asbestos traditionalists but I think I can still dig into a clean wall if I get my own office.
Where the fuck do you work that employees can just start demo’ing the office?
