http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/2307275/'Ridiculous'-health-and-safety-ru les-tell-carpenters-to-ban-the-broom.html oh dear. Isn't this silly. perhaps the workers could wear dust masks. ( a bath hat and swimming goggles?) Gosh, that was almost eight years ago when those words of wisdom were spouted by our dear old friend Mr B. Does anyone remember? >http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/2307275/'Ridiculous'-health-and-safety-ru les-tell-carpenters-to-ban-the-broom.html > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >spouted by our dear old friend Mr B. >Does anyone remember? Well, I've been a woodworker for over 40 years and dust can be a problem in the woodshop. I have a 1.5HP dust collector (DC), a down-draft sanding table with filters, a "Dust-Foe" respirator, and dust collection ports on most of my machines. The DC does a lot to cut down on the dust. Most woodworkers use more than one kind of dust control. I recall Mr. B telling about mixing household ammonia with sawdust, spreading it over a carpet, and allowing it to dry. Personally, I havn't tried this but it did stir up some commotion.
