screen reclaiming

Which is why the charcoal masks are sometimes a better option. These are not regulated

TP, Unfortunatly your wrong on that one buddy. Anything you put over your nose and mouth in a industrial/ manufacturing environment is regulated.

May be dated info but when we had an OSHA visit at IBG they said the disposable masks were not regulated. Either way definitely look into that. Our reclaim machine/room is super ventilated and automated so thankfully we don't have to deal with this

Gloves, a respirator, and an apron. I was driving in this morning and went by a guy cutting concrete, standing in a huge cloud of dust with no mask. So, at least a respirator if you're reclaiming in a cloud, they are your lungs, you might want them in good working order in 20 years...

You may be right if your talking about the paper dust masks but those don't help in any way with chemical fumes as far as protection. Yea, good for you guys with all that kick ass equipment , The rest of us can only dream although we are getting quotes right now for DTS and a auto coater.

I don't spend much time cleaning screens but staff that do wear masks, gloves, aprons and noise reducing headsets.   The room also has a strong extractor fan.
Not all laws are bad, if we want to risk our hearing and health that's one thing but to put our staff at risk is not acceptable.           
I don't know what adverse effects the chemicals have but the noise of a pressure gun opening and cleaning screens cannot be good for our hearing.
