Rabbithunter 456 Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Now there saying that to maintain a seal around your mouth/nose and your skin, you must be clean shaven. as stubble prevents a proper seal being made. Some asbestos worker's were kicked off a cumbrian site the other day for not being clean shaven yes, health and safety is neccesary, especially round asbestos, but what next?? they will be telling you not to get a hard-on in case your pants disturb the seal around your waist.

F uck up!!!! get something to whinge about.... Asbestos: The Worst Industrial Killer The medical profession, construction employers and architects got it badly, dangerously wrong.
