    protective gloves too

    Thanks , new to the patrol forum and there's some great info to be found.

    On a more mundane level I use protective disposable gloves for most of the messy jobs - kitchen food gloves or nitile rubber . Lots of toxins in old engine oil etc that are good to keep off your skin.

    Skin is actually quite good at absorbing all sorts of toxic chemicals and only later in life have I realised how important it is to minimise contact.

    Cheers

    Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward.
    Whoever cannot take care of themselves without that law is both.
    For a wounded man shall say to his assailant,
    'If I live, I will kill you. If I die, You are forgiven.'
    Such is the rule of honour.

    Hey Growlers71gq. Do I have some incredible stories that would make your blood boil... I am very safety concious but had to do some very high risk activities in the aircon/sheet metal game that need to be investigated. What involved in becoming a OH&S supervisor? Strongly considered it after the background I have!

    Theres a heap of courses.
    Start easy with a safety supervisors ticket its a 3-5 day course like a loooong white card ticket
    Then if ya keen do a cert4 ohs either atr tafe or online with someone like oten. is hard online keeping motivated
    Ive bypassed the cert4 and am doing a diploma in OHS which is quite intense and is aimed at management at changing entire workforce mentality/culture towards safe work practices
    Ive worked in residential, civil, and now commercial construction and its only recently ive decided to go the ohs path (supvsr/mngmnt).
    Ive seen some very dodgy/questionable practices in resi and civil and at companies who say safety is paramount but when theres $ INVOLVED SAFETY GOES OUT THE WINDOW the mob im working for now though will walk or loose $ before they compromise safety

    EDIT ive also done health safety representitive cert 3 as i was a safety rep whilst also being a civil supervisor and on the safety committee.

    I'm with a place at the moment that always says safety before money, but don't preach it.
