Jalopnik; California Wants to Ban Chrome Plating

Dan the man said
The press that I ran for year's had ventilation tubes that were on the floor to help with the vapors, but they wasn't maintained properly which made them useless. I was around mek, thinner, acetone, toluene and a glue that was applied to insulation paper for transformers, so I do have some knowledge and experience around hazardous chemicals. I had to take hazwhopper training yearly. The correct respirators to wear around hazardous chemicals is a heck of a lot more than $50, if I remember correctly it was more like a few hundred dollars each. A fan in the wall is about as useless as it gets. I understand and agree that better regulations are needed but it seems to me that California would rather ban it than fix it.

Almost every job has risks. Some much more than others. Its a risk many of us take in order to feed, clothed and house our families
However as society becomes more aware, when knowledge increases about hazards for workers, we as the greatest country on earth should be willing and able to show the rest of the world that life and health for workers is a priority we embrace
I wonder how many worker regulations in China to they have in relation to our country?

Steve it might be time to get off your high horse.
Find something else to do or read and relax.
You do much better when your not wearing your cape trying to save the world.
Life will go on but all of us are terminal , it's just a matter of how and when.
God bless
Deep breaths but not in a plating shop without ppe

There is always bound to be a uniformed reply like yours that makes no sense
But let me ask you a question. Since as you say, life will go on and all of us are terminal, are you terminally ill?
Are you suffering with cancer or respiratory disease as a result of your employment or do you just want your bumpers chromed cheap?
