There's a construction going on at the back of my place, with huge masonry block retaining walls being laid. Happened to be out the back this morning and observed the labourer using a dry diamond saw to cut the blocks. There was a HEE-YUGE cloud of concrete dust billowing all around him.
As you might guess: no dust mask, no ear defenders, no gloves, and standing directly behind the cut of a 15" blade.
I missed the opportunity to get a pic because by the time I thought of it the block layer had obviously told him to "please would you mind awfully moving down wind of me if it's not too inconvenient?", or whatever language block layers may use....
Later he was bent over coughing his guts up. Prolly about 25-30 years old, but there's only one thing that will give this guy grey hair, and it won't be middle-age.
