this is a class and youre drilling dry? hope youre teaching them about silicosis at the same time because theyre all going to die from it thanks to you

[AdventureMiningCo]

@DTNorthern Silicosis is formed after many years of mining and with the conditions present it would take 20+ years of breathing the dust 5 days a week to develop. The 10 minutes of drilling only exposed us to the same amount of silica dust we would have inhaled at the beach on a windy day.

Hello, I would like to know is there a lot of jobs after graduate?

use water wit the bit and all is well, a dust mask too. even a bandanna on the face.

I hope they'll at least use water during work, they didn't call it the widow maker for nothing. Before water, drillers had about a two year life expectancy.
