The Craft of Concrete Design
Concrete design possibilities are endless. Concrete is an extraordinary material used to create both texture and color… it’s a perfect medium used to express the relationships between art and craft and between contracting and architecture. Concrete can be summarized as practical, expressive, and aesthetic all at the same time. The adaptability of concrete makes it a perfect material for all areas of building and flooring. Because the malleability of concrete is so great many contractors use tools such as grinders and cutters to sculpt and repair this flexible surface. However, there is another side of concrete design that contractors and building professionals need to be aware of…
Concrete Grinding and Fiberglass Repair, and the Associated Hazards
The issue with extensive use of concrete and masonry products in building today, is the increased potential/risk of exposing construction workers to the hazardous dust particles that are typical in the cutting and grinding process. Grinding surfaces like fiberglass, concrete, wood, paint and epoxies can create toxic dusts that lead to the potential exposure of hazardous substances in the air. Substances in the form of dust or fibers that are found in the construction environment can cause immediate acute health results. Examples of dust and fibers found in the construction environment include silica dust also know as crystalline silica dust, asbestos fibers, metal dust, lead-based paint dust and fiberglass fibers. Issues that can arise from fiber exposure and dust exposure not only include the obvious health issue to construction workers, it also increase the likelihood the contractor may be in violation of not following OSHA compliant laws.
