Most of the old timers in my trade are def.
Always popping powder actuated caps right by the head(H.V. Loads are the best) Chop saw on metal studs, and a screw gun going. at least one of those three going at all times. I was super stupid and hardly ever wore ear plugs. :dunce: I'm partially def in my right ear lol.

The funny thing is OSHA commands annual hearing tests. (People have gotten as much as $80k for hearing loss where I worked.)

And I scored like a 30 yr. old in those tests. Just so they wouldn't have a pay out. Lol.

Annual hearing tests??? What??? Lol

They don't do that around here, or at least in the building trades. The general contractors have safety guys that are on the prowl for peeps not wearing their safety glasses at all times, but they don't give a fuck about your ears lmao.


Back some years ago, we were retrofitting the US customhouse San Francisco.
They would test us for lead levels. I tested dangerously high right up to the max allowed. Before I tested over the limit, I went off to another job. I think it's kinda funny.

Things got bad during a recession once, found myself working in an X-ray dept. in a local hospital for a year.

Had to wear a film badge to check for radiation exposure.

97% of the time, I worked the darkroom developing the old non digital X-ray film cassettes.

0ccasionally, I had to go do vile tasks out in the dept. that I didn't like considering the low rate of pay.

So I started to stick the film in my badge on the edge of the inside of the cassette where the patient's name was and expose it. Repeatedly.

It came back really high and they freaked. Had to get an exam and blood test.

I was confined to the protected dark room for the rest of my time there, where I was being paid to be. Lol.
