i work for a large company where the health and safety is hammered home. but i am still amazed that in some areas it is lacking, due to the costs. cutting into pile caps ready for splitting, men are using stilh saws , with another man throwing water on the blade with a bucket. i personally think that practice is amateur and dangerous. ask the storeman for a water pump and the answer is " the buyer wont allow it. " thank you for the advice tony. i went to the site you suggested and printed off the paperwork to show the lads the dangers at work. i for one dont and wont be dry cutting, and, neither will i allow it at my place of work. we are in a confined area also which adds to the problem.
