      Copper Chrome Arsenic treatment is essentially required for any timber that is going to get wet, piles is the example given.
      It’s one of those old ish treatments, that nobody (including the government) is under the illusion that its fine for your health.
      But its used in places that people generally dont touch it all the time, except the builders. The real danger is when you burn it, a lot of the impregnation comes out then and you can get poisoned.

      They would use something else, if it were available, and was proven beyond a doubt over the long term. The government is extremely risk averse when it comes to new build housing now, after the regulations were loosened up a while ago and made a huge disaster, and were subsequently tightened up again.
      There is also would be a lot of criticism about cost increases if they enforced a very expensive treatment. The housing situation is bad enough lmao. Left right, green, blue, you name it, every political faction want more cheaper housing.

    Yep, the best form of dust protection is to remove the source as practicably as possible, and your use of the vac is the best way.When doing demo an extraction fan is a good method, won't stop the stuff falling from piles above the ceiling, but will minimise the residual dust in the air...always worthwhile wearing the secondary protection though.

    Great video Scott. It's really good to see that you take safety seriously and actually use the gear on the video. I've worked in the Engineering business for most of my career and safety has always been important. I don't know if they're available in NZ but I use Emtec Housebreaker ear plugs. These are custom moulded to your ear and can be worn comfortably all day. They're not cheap (£80 GBP) but a set lasts around five years (Emtec recomend that you have new ones every five years because your ear changes shape as you get older). I like them because they don't interfere with your safety glasses and you can hear normal conversation with them in.

    Awesome vid. Here’s a tip for anyone who wants it! I wear Carhartt overalls over some shorts, take’em off as soon as I leave the job site. Leaves dust, debris, gunk out of the car/house. I also wear the knee pads that you stick in the pants/overalls. You can keep the knee pads in when you wash your bibs! Save your knees, minimize the grunts.

    Great overview of safety gear! I use a half style 3M dust mask like yours. Makes a huge difference. I've been thinking of a that clear full face mask as I wear glasses and some safety goggles don't fit very well when you combine it with the dust mask. I would be interested in a video about tool safety.

  • @hansangb

    @5:12, Paerau is spot on. When I have my TrendStealth dust mask and face shield, you kind of do feel invincible. Sanding overhead or pulling stuff down doesn't bother you one bit. I never thought of it that way, but Paerau is spot on. Also, while serving in the (US) Army, I didn't wear hearing protection too often. Sometimes, you couldn't because it's a live fire exercise, but there were times on the grenade range, or MG range when I didn't wear them. I'm 55 and pretty bad mid-range hearing loss. I'm constantly asking "what??what's that???" SO WEAR YOUR HEARING PROTECTION, PEOPLE!!!

  • @GumbootZone
    @GumbootZone 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I've been in carpentry for many years now. Mostly house framing and I've also done a lot of hardwood flooring. But I never wear knee pads, simply because I almost never kneel down onto my knees. I usually do what some people call the "Asian squat" where I'm working on the floor, still fully on my feet, but my knees are up around my shoulders. I know a lot pf people can't actually do that, especially at my age (54) but it's the way I've done it all my life. If I put on knee pads, then after 5 years they still look brand new!

      It's by far the most healthy way to do low work for both back and knees, but like you say, many, many Western adults have let their natural flexibility decay horrendously by the time they're adults and can't pull off that stance. Nothing a couple of months of yoga won't fix though.

Some construction employers mandate this type of boot in Aus for the above reasons

    Hey Scott if your in the market for a second half face mask I use a nearly identical one except it has a quick latch that you can pull to loosen the head strap made by 3M as well. It's super convenient to undo even with both hands full. Also pro tip for the knee pads that use straps get yourself a pair of cheap footy socks (or any thick soft ones) cut the toe off roll it up and put the strap through the sock. It helps heaps, you can sew them together so they are tight to the strap but still lose enough to throw them in the wash to clean.

    Knee protection is like 101 for an electrician. But most people in Sweden use Bluetooth headphones as ear protection. There are some ear protection that meet the DB reduction requirements around here. But they cost like 500 as well ( for a good pair ), so you can answer calls and what not. Other things for protection beyond eye protection tends to be well, those gloves. They help a lot for an electrician that cut into plastic around here. Prevents the slip of a duller knife from cutting through as you work or poking your finger with copper wires that lead to bleeding (done that a few times. )

    Pretty much the first thing I do when I get to a job is put on my knee pads and pop in some ear plugs. We do a lot on reno work on 50-150 year old houses so pads, plugs and a mask is every day work wear. Annoyingly here in the US there isn’t a health and safety requirement for dust extraction, consequently too few tools come with a dust port to hook a vac to as standard, and it can be a challenge when you’re using a circular saw.

    I've never liked the slip on style boots, mainly because my ankles are pretty stuffed and they have a tendency to roll out without decent support. I run the Steel Blue zip side lace up boots, easy enough to get them on and off, but I can really tie them tightly for ankle support

    I wish I used a respirator for the past 30 years. I have breathed in everything. The health issues last year got me thinking and I bought the same 3m respirator you have with 60 extra cartridges ( $23 a pair ). It is so good to not breath in aluminum dust or concrete dust.

    I have also had issues with the fit on the little foam ear plugs. I ended up getting some custom made ear plugs where they make a casting of your ear canal and then make custom fit ear plugs from those. They work great. I use them any time I need ear protection all day. For the times I only plan to use loud tools occasionally I have a set of ear muffs with the chop saw, mower, blower etc.

      I bought every single earplug I could get my hands on to test em. I hadn't known 3M made so many different styles out of so many different densities of materials! Found 2 that fit my larger canals and use them exclusively. One fits tighter and is a little less comfortable but that one cuts as much as my good earmuffs.

    Thanks for the informative video. Would've been nice if you had mentioned the levels of protection against particles. FFP2 vs FFP3, etc. And what level of protection is good for what sort of job, sanding, painting, regular saw dust, asbestos. I'm also curious if the regular headsets with noise cancelling actually have any effect on cancelling the noise from a table saw or sander that has more uniform noise level.

    good video scott. safety wear is so important. i go for peltor ear defenders, and just a standard 2 filter mask i got at screwfix. i have worn snickers floor layer trousers for atleast 6-8 years now so i always go for those floor layer knee pads. they really do break in quite well so maybe you should revisit them. im 40 year old now and no knee pain so i think im doing well. im gonna look into your links for the gegs though. i currently have a dewalt pair of safety specs but they are just the cheap ones and fall off if i bend over. the stupid things..... dewalt footwear i have zero complaints about though. always go for dewalt lace up boots with steel mid sole. rathe rnot have any foot/ nail related incidents

    Love these vids, Scott. This one is very relevant considering the cocktail of chemicals used in building materials these days. But it's not the full story. As you seem to have a lot of apprentices following you can you do a video on how to take care of your body to prevent long term damage. An apprentice starting out now will probably work 50 years. Do your back in on site when your young, you'll "walk-off the pain" & get back to the task in hand but it will come back to haunt you when your older. Don't ask me how I know this!!

    Totally agree about the ear protection. Plugs don't work for me. Medics have to get out their small children's kit for looking into my ears.
    Extremely useful advice that I wish I'd done during last 40 years (occasional but serious DiYer). In last 10 years, if I'm going to work on a dusty area, I have a cheap vacuum cleaner with the hose in the blower port in one hand, a vacuum cleaner hose in the other hand and, often a third machine with hose pointed in a suitable direction - I keep blowing and vacuuming until nothing gets disturbed from nook or cranny and, suddenly, the air smells sweet. Then I start on the dust generating drilling and grinding and keep vacuuming it up. It adds time - which have as DiYer - and makes the job so much less unpleasant.
    Never yet found knee pads that work for me.

    Hey bro, with regard to earmuffs I must recommend the 3M Worktunes ear muffs - they are about $139 at Mitre 10. They are Class 5 like your Honeywell muffs and to the tunes on or off and to answer and hang up a call is all done with one easy to press button the side -
    I’m a Sign Writer down here in Lower Hutt and Ive been using mine a month now and love them. battery lasts ages, charges via USB I can even take a call in a diesel scissor lift and the person on the other end of the call hears me clear as day!

    I wear what are called "pirate trousers" in the summer time. I get them from the mammoth workwear website. Snickers makes some as well as blaklader etc. They're 3/4 length pants with knee pads that work super well for keeping cool without sacrificing your knee pad pockets. I highly recommend them. I've been wearing them in the summer for years now. Some even have spandex in the crotch to prevent tearing during carpentry gymnastics.👍

    We use Sunstrum battery pack respirators for grinding and laminating fibreglass. Also need to have a full change of clothes as the paper suit must stay fully on for all the grinding & epoxy work. It can all get a wee bit warm inside those suits. Just a spare t-shirt doesn’t cut it on hot sunny days! 😆

    Being open and honest: workplace health and safety education needs to be at the top, hands down.
    The PPE video you have produced is current, practical and relevant for the home building industry. The impact that workplace injuries have on individuals, Health care, insurance companies and rehabilitation services, all can be avoided with:
    *PPE
    *Substitution
    *Engineering
    *Isolation
    These strategies save lives.

    Another thing you should mention is the HEPA filter on your vacuum. Helps keep the very fine particles (silica dust, gypsum from gib board, etc) contained in the vacuum. Ordinary filters just aren't good enough.
