How is this an argument to them not needing to wear PPE? Asbestos isn't the only particulate risk they face. PPE on the other hand would solve the others. You can say you don't see mechanics wearing PPE but thats because its not presently regulated. How many kitchens today lack a handwashing sink? Zero, if they have passed a health inspection.
Health inspection failures are very common. Health inspections also only capture a specific a point in time. I have personally eaten at restaurants that initially passed a health inspection, yet failed later for not having a functional handwashing sink.
It’s not an argument, but an observation. They deal in all kinds of chemicals and other nastiness, and I’ve never seen one wear PPE. I’ve even talked to mechanics about it and they don’t seem to care.
