I think the Nanny State has really gone around the bend on this one. On December 18 2010 the California Health and Safety Board will declare that wood is a known cancer causing substance. That as an employer you must post clear signage saying such. Drilling, sawing, sanding generates wood dust that can cause cancer. What next Water?? Football helmets and safety straps for all... I certainly feel safer now.
