Re: [A/S] Pressure Treated Wood
Jim, I agree, you will probably do more harm to yourself worrying about all
the safety factors than the risks of using them. One of my former managers is
in his 90's and cut asbestos ciel tile for years with dust as thick as butter
as he would say. We had many discussions on all subject matters, anyway, I
can't help but feel that he like others have dodged a bullet. I also know
smokers that lived and are living long lives. Yet those of us that do not
smoke wont start and many that do wish they could stop. (not judging smokers
relax) All because of the known safety issues. My point is we all choose to
assume different risks, and that is on us. My original post was more along
the lines that the Co. would be assuming the risk and eventual fall out of
injury by having Airstream employees work with pressure treated materials.
And the risk of personal injury out weighs the posable floor rot if the unit
was not properly maintained. Hey, I don't know what goes on in the mind of
Airstream executives, I was just speculating on posable reasons for not using
P.T. plywood on the floor.
Another point a fully agree with you on when these materials are covered or
sealed they are of little or no risk. It is when they are being cut and
fabricated that they pose the greatest danger.
