Default Re: DANGER BE Careful Using Parts Washers

This is a very sad story and my prays are with you... When I started in the Printing Field I used to laugh at the older guys wearing gloves when we washed the blakets, plates, etc.. It took me a few years to see how these chemicals dried out my hands and when I started wearing gloves and it went away... Lets face it, our bodies are made up of cells that are like little sponges that absorb almost anything we touch... I have since moved on to another job in the Printing Field off the press and I still go out there and tell the new guys to were their gloves... I even were surgical gloves when I change my car oil, they are inexpensive to buy and they block out all the bad elements that will harm your body... Good luck to all of us, Mark
